FAQs for Brook Street
What’s the nearest station to Brook Street?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brook Street.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan it with you.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where the van can park in Brook Street
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Light matters for evening service: in Brook Street, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
