Common questions in Jarvis Brook
What’s the nearest station to Jarvis Brook?
Jarvis Brook has its own station: Crowborough station.
Is Jarvis Brook close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you come to Jarvis Brook?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Jarvis Brook. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
