FAQs for Brook
Do you come out to small places like Brook?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Brook?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 1 mile away.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Brook
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas markets and fairs and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Brook, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
