A chip van near Frensham
Party fish and chip van in Frensham, cooked to order
For children, there’s sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and street parties.
In a small place like Frensham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Frensham questions
Could you trade in The Flashes?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Frensham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, it’s light in Frensham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
