The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In North Kensington, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Light near the van after dark
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
North Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
