Questions from Frogmore
Can the van park in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Frogmore?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Fish and chip van for events in Frogmore, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and chips, and we’re often booked for school summer fairs and village fêtes and summer fairs.
In Frogmore, one popular trader keeps it simple. Fish and chips does exactly that. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Share pitch details
Plan where the queue forms.
A few benches near the van help.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
