Which station is closest to Broad Oak?
Doleham station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
How far is Broad Oak from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Christmas markets and fairs
- Depot Christmas treats
- Work Christmas parties
- Christmas socials for clubs
Broad Oak is on or near the B2089, so we can reach it easily in winter.
Questions to ask before you book
- The deposit and payment dates
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether VAT is included
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 usually the easier option.
