Frogham questions
Is Frogham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Frogham
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for barn and farm weddings and engagement parties.
Near Frogham, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Count suppliers working late
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
