Fresh fish and chips in Monk Sherborne
Fish and chip van hire in Monk Sherborne, fried fresh
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. On the menu are gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
Somewhere as small as Monk Sherborne, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Light matters for evening service: in Monk Sherborne, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
