How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. December events in Kew lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van

Common questions in Kew
Do you trade at school fairs around Kew?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about parking in Kew?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
For event organisers in Kew
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
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.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The date and time of year
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Kew 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.
