Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Kemsley 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 follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Check with facilities where the van can park
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
For event organisers in Kemsley
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning a team lunch in Kemsley

Central London is about 37 miles from Kemsley, well within our area. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
We take the van to staff events all over the ME10 and ME9 postcode area and the streets around it. From Court Road, Menin Road and Hurst Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Kemsley, we also cover Howt Green (1 mile west), Milton Regis (1 mile south-east), Sittingbourne (1 mile south), Iwade (1 mile north-west) and Murston (1 mile south).

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Kemsley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
