Trolliloes questions
Is Trolliloes too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Trolliloes from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Numbers
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, the address or BN27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
