Fish and chip van hire for your event in Stone Hill
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. For fish and chip days at care homes and work Christmas parties, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

Stone Hill: your questions answered
Is Stone Hill close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Stone Hill?
Westenhanger station, about 2.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cover Stone Hill?
We do. We serve events in Stone Hill and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
If you want something everyone will enjoy, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice for your event in Stone Hill. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
