How our party fish and chip van works in Broomfield
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and retirement celebrations.
In a small place like Broomfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

FAQs for Broomfield
Is Broomfield close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Planning a party in Broomfield
Broomfield is about 5 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent.

Broomfield is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 19 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Margaret, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. If guests are coming by rail, Hollingbourne station is about 1.6 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Broomfield, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Broomfield?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Broomfield and the whole of Kent
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
