Fish and chip van hire in Stonehill Green, cooked to order
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and wakes and celebrations of life, serving mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
For a rural spot like Stonehill Green, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is 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 guests instead.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
