Places near Kentish Town
What else we do in Kentish Town
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in Kentish Town
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Questions from Kentish Town
What about parking in Kentish Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
Where the van can park in Kentish Town
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for later visits
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A clear way in for the van
Kentish Town 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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
