Planning for dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Check the van can park on site
  • Collect allergies in advance

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.

Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Kensal Green in December: what to know

Kensal Green is about 1 mile south-west of Kilburn, in Greater London. People in Kensal Green book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, Kensal Green has its own station, Kensal Green station. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Princess Frederica CofE Primary School, suit a chip van.

For Christmas parties in NW10, W10 and NW6, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Questions from Kensal Green

Is parking a problem for the van in Kensal Green?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Could you trade in Little Wormwood Scrubs?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

What if it’s raining or freezing?

The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.

When should we eat?

Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Kensal Green; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
