About our fish and chip van hire in Stonestreet Green
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include care home visits and evening wedding food, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
For a rural spot like Stonestreet Green, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before booking
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- Numbers
- How far we travel

- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

- Birthday celebrations

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Light matters for evening service: in Stonestreet Green, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins near the queue
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
