Fresh fish and chips in Froyle
Fish and chip van hire in Froyle, fried fresh
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and milestone birthday parties, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and gravy.
In a rural place like Froyle, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Froyle: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary of the Assumption: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Froyle too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why Froyle hosts choose us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
- Events in Froyle and across Hampshire

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
