Christmas party fish and chips for North Kensington events

Before you choose a spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

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

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Mushy peas
  • Gravy

Cannot 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 Christmas party.

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

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. It gets dark in North Kensington by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Book as early as possible for December
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Choose a lit spot for the van
  • Think about a gazebo or covered doorway

Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Festive lights by the van look great.

For event organisers in North Kensington

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

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.

Common questions in North Kensington

What’s the nearest station to North Kensington?

The closest is Kensal Green station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Can the van park in Little Wormwood Scrubs?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Can the van come to our work Christmas do?

Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Can you serve in the cold?

Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.

What time is best for food?

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

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Parking and the way in
  • How many people are eating
  • The day of the week

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • The date and time of the event
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Perfect for your Christmas party in North Kensington

It feels festive without being formal.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Christmas markets and fairs
  • Festive open days
  • Depot Christmas treats
  • Family Christmas get-togethers

A winter fair at a school like Barlby Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

  • When final numbers are due
  • What the van needs: space, access, power
  • Payment terms and deposit
