Why a Jacket Potato Van Is the Smartest Catering Choice for Corporate Events
Corporate catering has to work hard. It needs to serve quickly, cater for everyone, and leave people feeling genuinely well-fed — not picking at a tired buffet. A hot jacket potato ticks every box.
Our baked potato van for hire delivers a filling, flexible meal that works just as well for a 40-person staff treat as it does for a 400-person company event. Guests choose their own filling from a full menu of classic and gourmet options, which means there’s something for everyone — including vegetarians and those with dietary preferences.
Trusted corporate clients including Amazon, IKEA, DPD, Hilton Hotels and Marriott have relied on KK Catering to deliver exactly this kind of professional, high-quality catering. They keep coming back because the standard never slips.
“We had the first of our events with KK Catering this week at work, as part of our employee engagement programs. 250 jacket potatoes served by Scott & Calum and it went down an absolute storm with all our staff. Brilliant friendly service and great food. We have now booked our Christmas lunches, a Bavarian BBQ and Christmas Sandwiches — we can’t wait!”

The Classic Menu — Great British Jacket Potatoes Done Properly
Every potato is oven-baked to order, served with slightly salted butter, and loaded with your choice of filling. The classic menu is the heart of the service — straightforward, satisfying, and always a hit.
All classic fillings served with slightly salted butter as standard.
Everything is cooked fresh throughout service. No batch cooking, no pre-filled potatoes sitting under lamps. Every jacket that leaves the van is hot, freshly loaded, and made to order.
Upgrade to Gourmet — Premium Fillings Available at Booking
Want to give your event something extra special? Our gourmet baked potato menu takes the classic format and elevates it with premium ingredients and chef-crafted combinations. Add it to your booking as an upgrade — your guests get a more indulgent experience, and you get an event that really stands out.
The gourmet menu can be added at the booking stage for an additional charge. If you’re unsure which option suits your event best, just ask when you request your quote and we’ll advise.
Baked Potato Van Hire for Corporate Events and Staff Days
Staff appreciation and reward days. A hot jacket potato is the kind of food that makes people feel genuinely looked after. It’s a step well above a supermarket sandwich platter, and it shows your team you’ve put real thought into the day. Companies like Sheard Packaging have used our baked potato van as part of their employee engagement programme — and gone on to book multiple follow-up events as a result.
Conferences and training days. A filling, freshly cooked lunch keeps delegates focused and energised for the afternoon ahead. Furthermore, our van handles the entire service — so there’s no disruption to your schedule and no catering logistics for you to manage on the day.
Product launches and client hospitality. First impressions matter in a client-facing environment. Our immaculately presented vans and smartly turned-out staff reflect the same professional standards you set for your own business. The gourmet menu in particular adds a premium touch that works brilliantly for hospitality events.
Construction sites and outdoor workforces. Need to fuel a large site team? Our mobile baked potato vans are fully self-contained and can operate in virtually any outdoor location — car parks, forecourts, industrial sites — wherever your workforce is based.
Baked Potato Van Hire for Weddings, Parties and Private Events
Weddings. A baked potato van makes for a brilliantly relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Whether you’re feeding guests at a rustic outdoor reception or running a late-night supper station to keep the dance floor energised, jacket potatoes hit the spot every time. Guests can customise their own — which adds a fun, interactive element to the evening.
Birthday parties and milestone celebrations. Forget the standard party buffet. A hot jacket potato station creates a warm, welcoming focal point at any birthday gathering. Moreover, with both classic and gourmet options available, guests of all tastes are covered from the first serving to the last.
Charity and community events. Jacket potatoes are excellent value for money without ever feeling like a budget option. They’re filling, crowd-pleasing, and keep the atmosphere warm and social throughout the event — ideal for fundraising mornings, community open days, and school events alike.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baked Potato Van Hire
How many guests can your baked potato van cater for?
We regularly cater for events ranging from 40 to 500+ guests. During your quote process, we’ll discuss your guest numbers, service window, and event schedule — and plan accordingly so every guest is served a hot, freshly loaded potato without a long wait.
How long does service typically last?
Service windows are completely flexible and planned around your event timeline. A typical corporate service runs for 60–90 minutes, but we can accommodate longer windows or staggered serving times to suit shift patterns, delegate arrivals, or site logistics.
What’s the difference between the classic and gourmet menus?
The classic menu features our core fillings — baked beans & cheddar, smoked bacon & brie, smoked ham & cheddar, line-caught tuna & coleslaw, beef chilli, and creamy coleslaw — all served with slightly salted butter. The gourmet menu takes those foundations and upgrades them with premium additions like sour cream, crispy bacon bits, and chives. The gourmet option is available as an add-on at the booking stage for an additional charge.
Do you need power or kitchen access at the venue?
Our baked potato vans run from a standard 13amp mains electricity supply — just a nearby power point and a parking space is all we need. No kitchen access required. If your venue has no mains power, a generator can be added to your booking at the quote stage. Either way, we’ll confirm all power arrangements with you in advance.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Our menu includes multiple vegetarian options as standard — Heinz beans & cheddar, tuna & coleslaw, and creamy coleslaw are all meat-free. We’re happy to discuss any specific dietary requirements in advance so your team or delegates are fully catered for.
Can you serve indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes. Our vans and equipment are fully set up for both indoor and outdoor service, so your venue is never a problem. We’ll confirm the logistics with you when you book.

How far in advance should I book?

Great company, very helpful, and great service. Faultless.

Super food 😋

KK Catering absolutely nailed it.
From the first bite to the last crumb, the food was fabulous — the kind of catering that makes you forget you’re at an event and start wondering how soon you can go back for seconds (or thirds… no judgement). … More
Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly timed, and genuinely delicious — not “good for catering” good, but actually good good. Guests were still talking about the food long after the plates were cleared, which says it all.
Professional, polished, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you want food that elevates your event rather than just feeding it, KK Catering is the one.
Would book again in a heartbeat 👏🍽️ -
