Book the van in Great Stonar
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Great Stonar
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater project milestones and charity days, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Great Stonar can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Great Stonar
Can you serve near the sea around Great Stonar?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Great Stonar?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
