Stoneleigh questions
Which station is closest to Stoneleigh?
Stoneleigh has its own station: Stoneleigh station.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Do you come to Stoneleigh?
We do. Stoneleigh is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
