How our fish and chip van for events works in North Stoneham
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and festivals, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near North Stoneham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for visitors to gather round

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
North Stoneham questions
Can the van park in Lakeside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve near the sea around North Stoneham?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you cover North Stoneham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Stoneham is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in North Stoneham?
Hot food keeps families around for longer.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- School fairs and sports days
- Fish and chip supper nights
- Music and food festivals
- Club open days
An event in Lakeside Country Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, usually the council.
Comparing caterers
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- If the price includes VAT
- The deposit and payment dates
- How much space the van takes up
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. 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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In North Stoneham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
