The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and children’s parties, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy.

Country parties near Jarvis Brook suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Autumn and winter parties in Jarvis Brook get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Read our prices page and what a fish and chip van costs.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • How far we travel
  • The minimum booking
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The venue or postcode
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • A photo of the parking spot

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

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.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

For event organisers in Jarvis Brook

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Questions from 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.

Can you serve after a service at St Michael & All Angels?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Do you need power or water from us?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • A photo of the parking spot helps
  • Let your neighbours know
  • Put allergy details in writing

After service, we pack up.

Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
