Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
What affects the price in Titchfield Park
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies

- Distance and any road charges

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
