Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Stonehill Green
Do you come out to small places like Stonehill Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Stonehill Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cover Stonehill Green?
We do. Stonehill Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A clear route onto the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch

How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. December events in Stonehill Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
