Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Location catering around Stonor

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. On a winter shoot near Stonor, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Stonor: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stonor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
