How our fish and chip van hire works in Upper Froyle
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event. We are often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Upper Froyle, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Planning an evening event in Upper Froyle? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare

- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
