Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

About our fish and chip van for events in Monxton
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. For village fêtes and horse and dog shows, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural events near Monxton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

Common questions in Monxton
How far is Monxton from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Monxton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Monxton?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
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 coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
