Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Where the van can park in Jarvis Brook
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
