DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from Jury's Gap
Do you come out to small places like Jury's Gap?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
