What else we do in Stone Corner
For event organisers in Stone Corner
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Common questions in Stone Corner
Can you serve near the sea around Stone Corner?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Stone Corner close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stone Corner.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so send us the date and we will answer straight away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
