Questions from Stone in Oxney
Can you serve near the sea around Stone in Oxney?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Stone in Oxney from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.

How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
