Common questions in Sevenoaks Weald
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come 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.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Sevenoaks Weald until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
