The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Stone Copse drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What affects the price in Stone Copse
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let your neighbours know
- Count children separately
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Have a back-up for special diets
It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
