Fairly priced, sustainable and seasonal produce, even fresher than fresh fish, briefly, all the culinary delights from the North Sea. Original seafood just how you like it… That is what Jean sur Mer stands for! We are the pioneers in food truck land, and our vintage buses tour Belgium and the Netherlands attending private parties, company events and festivals. Our chef takes immense pleasure in adapting our various options to all the different events. He expertly conjures up street food, sharing food, as well as full menus and impressive eight-course stand-up buffets… He puts his heart and sole (excuse the pun) into his work. Jean sur Mer always stands for trendy and unforgettable culinary events!
FROM FOOD TRUCK AND STREET FOOD TO STAND-UP DINNER PARTIES
KEEP ON TRUCKIN' In 1974, we started out with an old caravan, and we gave it an old-fashioned beach hut look. Yes, we all need some eye candy! Over the years, our vintage caravan has gained two little brothers. These are both German Army ambulances that date from the 1980s. We transformed these fantastic old-timers into high-performance food trucks to tour around Belgium and the Netherlands with our gastronomic fish dinners, to help our customers celebrate their christenings, communion and spring festivities, and weddings in style. We also turn company events and festivals of all sizes into memorable culinary occasions.
ORIGINAL SEAFOOD FROM A FOOD TRUCK? Deep-fried white fish, shrimp croquettes, fish burgers, oysters, mussels, fish tacos, fish soup… including the ingenious culinary gem of ceviche! Our food truck is manned by one chef, and - upon request – we can provide all the necessary qualified waiting and kitchen staff.
FROM STREET FOOD TO ELABORATE STAND-UP DINNER PARTIES Jean sur Mer ensures that it is all about the most delicious top-quality fish! Whether it is street food, sharing food or a complete and more than elaborate up-scale eight-course stand-up dinner party, our food truck is at the ready to serve deep-fried white fish, fish burgers, shrimp croquettes, oysters... and even grilled lobster. Dutch Zeeland and French creuse oysters, whelks, brown shrimps in their shell, Dutch fresh shrimp croquettes prepared by seafood specialists, lobster, fish soup, ceviche… If you can dream it, Jean sur Mer can turn it into a mouth-watering seafood delight.
FULL SERVICE CATERING Would you like to jazz up a christening party, communion or spring party, a wedding or anniversary with a delicious feast straight from the North Sea? Would you like us to attend a company event? Ensure that the festival is also a hit from a foodie point of view… Jean sur Mer is only too happy to rise to the challenge. If you have any queries, we are ready and waiting to answer them (link contact).

WHO CATCHES ALL THOSE NORTH SEA CULINARY DELIGHTS?
In 2010, Jan Kegels started his ‘original seafood’ catering business. He named the company JEAN sur MER. His love for the sea and the mouth-watering seafood delicacies stems from his early childhood. In 2010, the Tour de France happened to pass through Belgium. It was pure serendipity that Jan’s local pub was located on that particular route of the Tour de France. Jan wanted to offer something different from the constant hamburger – chips – hot dog fare, and he and one of his best friends cobbled together a food kiosk serving deep-fried white fish [kibbeling]. In the space of just six hours, they got through no less than twenty kilos of fish armed with just two basic deep-fat fryers.
A ‘Grand’ Chef. From working as a sous chef at the highly renowned De Godevaart to world-traveller and connoisseur of Bali to the inspiration behind Carbon... to Master of Flavour and Composition at Jean sur Mer.
It all started with a beautiful vintage caravan that was restored and converted to comply with the Food Regulations. The vintage caravan gained two big brothers as the years went by: two 1980s army ambulances…
