Planning a van visit in Seal
Seal is about 2 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. For a care home visit in Seal, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Seal is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
If your residents have links with Church of St Peter and St Paul, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. Families coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Bat & Ball station, about 1.1 miles west. Seal is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape.
We take the van to care home visits all over TN15 and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Jubilee Rise; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Seal, we also cover Greatness (1 mile west), Godden Green (1 mile south), Styants Bottom (2 miles east), Stone Street (2 miles south-east) and Bitchet Green (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (13 miles east), Dartford (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south), Gravesend (12 miles north-east), Tonbridge (7 miles south) and Northfleet (11 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Sevenoaks Hospital (1.1 miles west) and Sevenoaks Museum (1.7 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Dryhill Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Wildernesse School (under half a mile south) and Knole Academy (1.5 miles west)
- Nearby, you will find The Five Bells Public House (under half a mile south-east)
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We set up before the mealtime.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Garden visits in Seal work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Seal questions
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Seal from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What affects the price in Seal
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Seal
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Where the van can park in Seal
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
