A chip van compared with other options

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Stone in Oxney
Can you serve near the sea around Stone in Oxney?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
