Fish and chip van hire in Titchfield Common, fried fresh

In and around Titchfield Common, homes and village halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan bins near the queue
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Titchfield Common, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from Titchfield Common
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve after a service at St John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover Titchfield Common?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Titchfield Common. For a quote, use our quote form.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Titchfield Common.
A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
