How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. A summer party in Sevenoaks stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Party fish and chip van in Sevenoaks, cooked to order
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. It is food every generation enjoys. Whether it’s kids’ birthday parties and garden get-togethers, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In a town like Sevenoaks, a garden party with the van on the drive is the classic choice, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. We just need a level spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let your neighbours know
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 19 miles away.
A green space like Montreal Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. If the day starts at St John the Baptist, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Sevenoaks, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in TN13, TN14, TN15 and TN8 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on London Road, High Street and Church Road, wherever the van can park. You’ll find Sevenoaks on the A21 and A25, which makes the journey straightforward.

Common questions in Sevenoaks
Can you serve after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Montreal Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Sevenoaks?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Sevenoaks and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Sevenoaks?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
