Common questions in Minster
What’s the nearest station to Minster?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Could you trade in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Minster?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
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.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Minster
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. For new Year parties and christmas socials for clubs, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Christmas parties in Minster are frequently at workplaces and clubs. We need a lit spot close to the door. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
