About our Christmas party fish and chips in Broomfield
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and lights switch-on events.
In winter near Broomfield, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently 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 is handed over.
Questions from Broomfield
Which station is closest to Broomfield?
The closest is Hollingbourne station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you come 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.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Broomfield?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Broomfield?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Planning a Christmas party in Broomfield
Broomfield is about 5 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. For Christmas parties in Broomfield, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Broomfield. Broomfield is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Broomfield to Canterbury (about 19 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Margaret draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Broomfield, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in ME17, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Other places close to Broomfield we cover include Chegworth (1 mile east), Ashbank (1 mile north-west), Kingswood (1 mile south), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north) and Leeds (1 mile west).
