How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. December visits in Frogham are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
