Festive bookings around Brookland
Brookland is about 10 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Brookland to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We serve 922 places across Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 22 miles away.
A Christmas fair at St Augustine's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Train travellers will want to know that Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 6 miles of Brookland, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Christmas party fish and chips in Brookland, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year customer events and work Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Brookland, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
