Fish and chip van for events for your event in Stone Cross
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater feeding event crew and church fêtes, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Stone Cross, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Stone Cross lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree the terms in writing
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Plan where the queue forms.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Where the van can park in Stone Cross
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
