Stunts Green: your questions answered
Is Stunts Green close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if we don’t know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
