Fish and chip van for events for Stonehill events
About our fish and chip van for events in Stonehill
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. For horse and dog shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Rural events near Stonehill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Information about power and water
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Stonehill
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer fêtes in Stonehill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share pitch details
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
When the event closes, we pack up.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
