How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Late-December sunset in Frogmill is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

More for events in Frogmill
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Questions from Frogmill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Frogmill close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
