FAQs for Monk Sherborne
How far is Monk Sherborne from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Monk Sherborne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
