For event organisers in Stocks Green
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Stocks Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Why choose a fish and chip van in Stocks Green?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- Something for guests to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Classic food your guests already know
Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Stocks Green questions
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
