Fish and chip van hire in Froxfield Green, cooked to order
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We are often asked to cater birthday celebrations and community events and fairs, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Froxfield Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Light matters for evening service: in Froxfield Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- A quote that spells everything out
