Fish and chip van for events for Stonehills events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Stonehills
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. Whether it’s sports tournaments and fish and chip supper nights, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Stonehills, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

For event organisers in Stonehills
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Stonehills, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Stonehills
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Stonehills?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to Stonehills?
We do. Stonehills is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
