About our fish and chip van hire in Jury's Gap
There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. For birthday celebrations and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Jury's Gap, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Jury's Gap. In Jury's Gap, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
