Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Trotton questions
Is Trotton close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Trotton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer fêtes in Trotton have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Set a time for helpers’ food
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A few benches near the van help.
