Planning an event in Frogmore?
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
About our fish and chip van hire in Frogmore
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and evening wedding food.
In and around Frogmore, homes and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Common questions in Frogmore
Can you serve after a service at St Barnabas Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Frogmore from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Where the van can park in Frogmore
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Fish and chip van hire around Frogmore
Frogmore is about 1 mile south-west of Sandhurst, in Hampshire. Frogmore is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Frogmore to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
After a service at St Barnabas Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. A green space like Sandhurst Memorial Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
Wherever your event is in GU17, GU47 and GU46, we can fry fresh for your guests. We can serve an event on streets such as Bell Lane, Green Lane and Reading Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to events in Blackwater (1 mile east), Hawley (1 mile south-east), College Town (1 mile north-east), Sandhurst (1 mile north-east) and York Town (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Basingstoke (14 miles west), Farnborough (3 miles south-east), Fleet (5 miles south-west), Aldershot (6 miles south), Alton (15 miles south-west) and Tadley (15 miles west).
A little further out are Staff College Museum (2.1 miles east) and Frimley Park Hospital (2.6 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Horseshoe Lake and Wildmoor Heath.
- Local schools include Frogmore Community College (0.6 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find White Swan pub (0.7 miles north)
- Other local spots include Royal Military Academy Library (1.5 miles east)
The process
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Light matters for evening service: in Frogmore, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
