Common questions in Kennington
What’s the nearest station to Kennington?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Kennington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
