Bromley Green weddings: local tips
Bromley Green is about 3 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever your wedding is in the TN26 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
Within reach of Bromley Green are historic houses such as Godinton House (4.5 miles north). Grand venues like these generally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before you book. Guests coming by rail will want to know that the closest railway station is Ham Street station, roughly 1.9 miles south of the centre. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Bromley Green, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check vehicle access with the venue.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Questions from Bromley Green
Is Bromley Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you cover Bromley Green?
We do. Bromley Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Bromley Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
