Party fish and chip van for Great Stonar events
Party fish and chip van in Great Stonar, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For neighbourhood get-togethers and retirement celebrations, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Great Stonar, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send us a photo of the drive
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Planning a party in Great Stonar
Great Stonar is about 5 miles south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the CT13 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Great Stonar is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Great Stonar to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Sandwich station, about 1.2 miles south, is the nearest station. A green space like Prince's Beachlands is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
For parties in CT13, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Kitchener Drive, Spitfire Way and Hugin Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve parties in Sandwich (1 mile south), Cooper Street (2 miles west), East Street (2 miles west), Marshborough (2 miles south-west) and Woodnesborough (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (11 miles west), Margate (7 miles north), Dover (10 miles south), Ramsgate (5 miles north-east), Broadstairs (6 miles north-east) and Whitstable (14 miles west).
A little further out are The Precinct Toy Collection (0.8 miles south) and Sandown Castle (4.3 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Local schools include Sir Roger Manwood's School (1.1 miles south)
- Local pubs include Invicta House Ye Olde King's Arms (0.7 miles south)

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. A summer party in Great Stonar stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Great Stonar: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Great Stonar?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Great Stonar from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
