Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in The Frenches
What’s the nearest station to The Frenches?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 2.5 miles north of the centre.
Is The Frenches 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.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you cover The Frenches?
Yes, we do. The Frenches is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime bookings in The Frenches are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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 your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or SO51 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
