About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Bromley Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bromley Green?
Ham Street station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
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.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Long summer days in Bromley Green, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
