The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
What affects the price in Stone Cross
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Light near the van after dark
- Access the van can manage
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Stone Cross questions
Can you serve near the sea around Stone Cross?

How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
