Stonor questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Stonor from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
