Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Toothill questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Toothill?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can the van come to Toothill?
We do. We serve events in Toothill and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
