What happens on the day

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Notting Dale is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Clear the route for the van

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

For a treat residents will talk about, a fish and chip van visit is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Why book with us

  • A clear quote before booking
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.

What affects the price in Notting Dale

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • The length of service
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The date and time of year
  • Parking and the way in

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Where the van would park
  • Your date and serving time
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

FAQs for Notting Dale

Could you trade in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What about parking in Notting Dale?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.

What does the van need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Are visitors included?

Of course. Add them to your numbers.

Where the van can park in Notting Dale

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • With the serving side away from windows
  • Light near the van after dark
  • A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive

As a London location, Notting Dale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
