Community events around Hammersmith
Hammersmith is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London. Events in Hammersmith are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Hammersmith is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Hammersmith to London (about 6 miles away).
Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of the Holy Innocents, are a natural home for a chip van. For visitors coming by rail, Kensington Olympia station, about 0.8 miles east, is the nearest station.
We cover events in every part of the W6, W14, W12 and W4 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include The Square, Ravenscourt Square and Westcroft Square; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an evening event in Hammersmith, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van

FAQs for Hammersmith
Do you trade at school fairs around Hammersmith?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Brook Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Can the van come to Hammersmith?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hammersmith is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share pitch details
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
We set up before visitors arrive.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
As a London location, Hammersmith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 generally simpler.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or W6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
