Planning an event in Sevenoaks?
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sevenoaks
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include a monthly Fish Friday and retirement and leaving lunches, with pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For businesses in Sevenoaks, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Where the van can park in Sevenoaks
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Sevenoaks: your questions answered

Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
