About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Fish and chip van hire in Frogham, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and weddings and evening receptions, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Frogham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Frogham
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
For event organisers in Frogham
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
