A chip van near Monxton
Party fish and chip van in Monxton, cooked to order
A chip van also works for street parties, once the council has agreed the road closure. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and family reunions, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Monxton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Show us where the van would go
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Monxton questions
How far is Monxton from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
