DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Stonesfield: your questions answered
Is Stonesfield close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Stonesfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?

How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
