Fish and chip van for events in Kilburn, cooked to order
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater community festivals and fish and chip supper nights.
In Kilburn, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer events in Kilburn have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Kilburn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Common questions in Kilburn
Which station is closest to Kilburn?
Kilburn has its own station: Queens Park (London) station.
Could you trade in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we will confirm.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
