What else we do in Kenton
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Level, firm ground at base
- Room for the crew to queue
As a London location, Kenton 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.

- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Kenton hosts choose us
- A clear quote before you book
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Events we cater in Kenton
It works in any weather, which matters on location.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Crew morale days
- Unit base lunches
- Commercials and music videos
- Outside broadcasts
Nearby historic houses include Headstone Manor (2.2 miles west) and Northolt Manor (3.9 miles south-west). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Numbers
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Kenton: your questions answered
Could you trade in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about parking in Kenton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
