- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch

Community events around Bayswater
Bayswater is about 1 mile north-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Bookings in Bayswater come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Bayswater is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
A summer fête at Essex Street Chapel is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. If your event is in Kensington Palace Green, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
Events anywhere in W2, W8 and W11 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. Streets in the area include Dukes Lane, Salem Road and Aubrey Road, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You will find Bayswater on the A4204 and A4206, which makes the journey straightforward. Other places close to Bayswater we cover include Westbourne (1 mile north), Westbourne Green (1 mile north), Little Venice (1 mile north-east), Paddington (1 mile north-east) and Paddington Green (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (4 miles east), St Pancras (3 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east), Walthamstow (9 miles north-east), Hoxton (5 miles east) and Whitechapel (5 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Kensington Arcade (0.6 miles south) and Greek Orthodox Cathedral Treasury Museum (under half a mile north). Within reach you’ll find Greville Place nature reserve and The Long Water.

- Local pubs include The Churchill Arms (less than half a mile south)
- Local facilities include Ladbroke Estate (0.6 miles west) and Abdus Salam Library (1 mile south-east)
Where the van can park in Bayswater
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer fêtes in Bayswater have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree when volunteers will eat
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
