About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What affects the price in Jury's Gap
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Jury's Gap: your questions answered
Is Jury's Gap too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Jury's Gap?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
How the day works
When we arrive, 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. For a summer visit in Jury's Gap, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
