Fish and chip van hire in Frogham, cooked to order
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. We’re often asked to cater company team days and big birthdays, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere like Frogham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cover Frogham and the whole of Kent
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A van that becomes part of the event

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Light matters for evening service: around Frogham, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Frogham: your questions answered
Is Frogham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
