Fresh fish and chips in Frogham
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Questions from Frogham
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Frogham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Frogham get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:05pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
