How our fish and chip van hire works in Trolliloes
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Popular choices include pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for garden get-togethers and staff thank-you lunches.
In a rural place like Trolliloes, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. 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.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tell people when the van opens.
- 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
