FAQs for West Kensington
Can the van park in Gwendwr Garden?

Crew catering near West Kensington
West Kensington is about 1 mile south of Kensington, in Greater London. West Kensington is well within our area, so your shoot just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. West Kensington is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.

- Agree how the base is left

Other occasions in West Kensington
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 usually simpler.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light in West Kensington lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; 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 early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
