Fresh fish and chips in Froxfield Green

Near Froxfield Green, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
FAQs for Froxfield Green
Do you come out to small places like Froxfield Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Froxfield Green?
Petersfield station, about 2.7 miles south-east of the centre.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
- Update numbers if they change
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
