Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Stonegate
What affects the price in Stonegate
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Common questions in Stonegate
Do you come out to small places like Stonegate?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Parties in Stonegate: homes, halls and local tips
Stonegate is about 9 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. For parties in Stonegate, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Stonegate is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 26 miles away.
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Stonegate station, roughly 1 mile south-west of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Wadhurst Castle (3 miles north-west) and Bateman's (3 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Stonegate is within about 3 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cover parties in every part of TN5. Local streets include Station Road, Forge Field and Lymden Lane; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Stonegate drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send us a picture of the drive
Plan where the queue stands.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
