How our fish and chip van for events works in Kenton
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it’s horse and dog shows and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce and more.
In Kenton, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
As a London location, Kenton 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree the terms in writing

Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Kenton
Which station is closest to Kenton?
Kenton station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Kenton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

The process

At midsummer, events in Kenton stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
