How our fish and chip van hire works in Stonesfield
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. For gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Stonesfield, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Stonesfield, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Working with your venue

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- A clear quote before you book
- All the chip-shop extras
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen needed
