Planning a van visit in Stonehill
Stonehill is about 3 miles north of Woking, in Surrey. For care home visits in Stonehill, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Stonehill is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Stonehill to Guildford (8 miles away).
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Christ Church, is a good occasion for a van visit. Old photos of Gracious Pond can spark conversation during a van visit.
We cover care home visits in every part of KT16. We can serve a care home visit on streets such as Stonehill Road and Stonehill Crescent, wherever the van can park.

Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (8 miles south), Woking (3 miles south), Camberley (8 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (15 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).

Care home fish and chips in Stonehill, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. We serve pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater family days and day centre treats.
Rural care homes near Stonehill can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Stonehill
Is Stonehill 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.
Which station is closest to Stonehill?
Longcross station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In summer, Stonehill has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Other occasions in Stonehill
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a lovely, simple occasion, a chip van visit is hard to beat in Stonehill. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
