Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan lighting near the hatch
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Stonehills; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Stonehills: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Stonehills?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
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.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?

Do you come to Stonehills?
