Questions from Monk's Hill
Is Monk's Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 will follow the site rules.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- Service time

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Lunchtime bookings in Monk's Hill are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Monk's Hill?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for staff to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
