Christmas party fish and chips in Brook, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We serve cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas lunches for shift teams.
In winter near Brook, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. An afternoon Christmas party in Brook can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.

FAQs for Brook
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Brook?
Wye station, about 2 miles north-west of the centre.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.

At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brook?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
