A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Questions from Broomhill
Is Broomhill close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Broomhill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you cover Broomhill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Broomhill and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
