DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Stone by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Questions from Stone
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Stone from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you come to Stone?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Stone and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Let us know of any allergies
- Cater for a few more than you expect
We start when you give the word.
Have napkins and bins ready.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
