FAQs for Brook Street
Is Brook Street close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Brook Street?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 3.6 miles away.

Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, it is light in Brook Street until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
