Fresh fish and chips in Stonesfield
Why choose a fish and chip van in Stonesfield?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. The cost per head generally 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.

About our fish and chip van for events in Stonesfield
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. Whether it’s agricultural and country shows and charity fundraisers and community events, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural events near Stonesfield can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Stonesfield stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Where the van can park in Stonesfield
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
