Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier

- Ask about allergies on the party invitation

When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Questions from Monkhams
What’s the nearest station to Monkhams?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What about parking in Monkhams?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
