Fish and chip van for events for Frogham events
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. December events in Frogham lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Frogham
Is Frogham close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Frogham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
