Book the van in Stone
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Fish and chip van for events in Stone, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. Typical bookings include sports club events and race days and school fairs and sports days, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Stone, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
