Broom Street: your questions answered
Is Broom Street close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Broom Street?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.

Hosting a chip van party in Broom Street
Broom Street is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the ME13 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Broom Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Thinking of using South Swale? Parks typically need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. If the day starts at Church of All Saints, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
We take the van to parties all over ME13. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Graveney (1 mile south-east), Culmers (1 mile south-east), Goodnestone (1 mile south), Slutshole (2 miles south-east) and Hernhill (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles west), Whitstable (5 miles north-east), Herne Bay (9 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.6 miles north-east).
- Local schools include Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (1.8 miles west)
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why Broom Street hosts choose us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Broom Street stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
