Fresh fish and chips in Stonehill
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
How our party fish and chip van works in Stonehill
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and family parties with children, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
A country party near Stonehill is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Parties in Stonehill: homes, halls and local tips
Stonehill is about 3 miles north of Woking, in Surrey. Around Stonehill, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your guests. Stonehill is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Stonehill to Guildford (8 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Botleys Mansion (1.4 miles north-east) and Byfleet Manor (4.8 miles south-east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first. Parks such as Gracious Pond usually need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
For parties in KT16, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on Stonehill Road and Stonehill Crescent, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Stonehill, we also cover Ottershaw (1 mile east), Longcross (1 mile north-west), Mimbridge (2 miles south-west), Lyne (2 miles north-east) and Trumps Green (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Guildford (8 miles south), Woking (3 miles south), Camberley (8 miles west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (15 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).
A little further out are Chobham Museum (2.2 miles south-west) and The Peacocks (3.1 miles south). Within reach you will find Gracious Pond and St Ann's Lake.

Common questions in Stonehill
How far is Stonehill from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Stonehill?
Longcross station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
