Party fish and chip van in Stone, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include birthday parties and retirement parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Around Stone, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Stone questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Stone?
The closest is Stone Crossing station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Stone?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Stone and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, it is light in Stone until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share 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’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
