Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Frogham questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Frogham?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
The process
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Winter weddings in Frogham are dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
