Planning an event in North Kensington?
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in North Kensington is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
North Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
FAQs for North Kensington

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