Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

About our care home fish and chips in Kensington
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for the care team and lunch clubs.
For a care home in Kensington, a short stay in the car park works well. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Kensington questions
What’s the nearest station to Kensington?
Kensington has its own station: Kensington Olympia station.
What about parking in Kensington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For event organisers in Kensington
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, Kensington has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
What affects the price in Kensington
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Count families who are joining in
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Where the van can park in Kensington
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from emergency access
- A route in without tight gates
Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
