Planning help
Sevenscore: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Sevenscore?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Sevenscore?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What affects the price in Sevenscore
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Who books Christmas party fish and chips in Sevenscore?

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Book as early as possible for December
- Keep the queue dry
- Check the van can park on site
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
