What else we do in Kensal Town
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A clear route onto the pitch
As a London location, Kensal Town 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’ll advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Evening events in Kensal Town have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
