The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Details of any power or water on site
As a London location, Kentish Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Kentish Town
Can the van park in Primrose Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Kentish Town?
Kentish Town West station, in Kentish Town itself.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can the van come to Kentish Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Kentish Town is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are 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.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
