Common questions in Jury's Gap
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.
How far is Jury's Gap from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

For event organisers in Jury's Gap
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Share pitch details
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
