- Have bins and napkins near the hatch

Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Stone Corner
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and summer garden parties, with gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Somewhere like Stone Corner, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
