Book the van in Brookland
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Brookland
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. We are frequently asked to cater open days and customer events and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Brookland, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning a team lunch in Brookland

You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 22 miles away.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Lunchtime bookings in Brookland are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you serve near the sea around Brookland?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Brookland?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Brookland?
Yes, we do. Brookland is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
