About our fish and chip van hire in Jarvis Brook
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for work Christmas parties and community events and fairs.
In a hamlet or village like Jarvis Brook, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Around midsummer it stays light in Jarvis Brook until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Jarvis Brook
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Jarvis Brook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
Which fish do you use?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
