Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Give us an idea of numbers
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events in Kensal Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Details of any power or water on site
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Kensal Green 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 will advise.
