FAQs for Sevenscore
Can the van park in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How our party fish and chip van works in Sevenscore
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and children’s parties, serving gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
A country party near Sevenscore is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it is light in Sevenscore until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
