Fresh fish and chips in Stonor

About the food

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Party fish and chip van in Stonor, fried fresh

A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Popular choices include curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday parties and family celebrations after a christening.

Near Stonor, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Space, access and the venue

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Questions from Stonor

Do you come out to small places like Stonor?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you serve after a service at Pishill Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Our booking checklist

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Let your neighbours know
  • Check the street’s parking rules
  • Show us where the van would go

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

A few lights around the van look great.

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The date and time of year
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Access and parking
  • The minimum booking

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Where the event is
  • A picture of the space and the way in

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

What happens on the day

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a late-May party in Stonor, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, light the area around the van.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Tell us when you want to eat
