Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Rural businesses around Monkton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning help
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Monkton
What’s the nearest station to Monkton?
Minster station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Monkton?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

Before booking anyone
- How many hours the van serves
- When payment is due
- How late numbers can change
- Whether VAT is included
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Collect allergies in advance
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
- Classic food your staff already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
Read our prices page or the cost guide.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
