The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. For a late-May party in Brook Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

Planning help
Brook Street: your questions answered
Is Brook Street close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What affects the price in Brook Street
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time

- The menu and how many choices

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Where the van can park in Brook Street
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
