Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event. In Kennington, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.

Kennington questions
What’s the nearest station to Kennington?
Ashford International station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
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.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
