Common questions in Kings Cross
Is parking a problem for the van in Kings Cross?

Kings Cross has its own station: London Kings Cross station.
Do you have a kids’ option?

How quickly can you serve everyone?

Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How far ahead should we book?

Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree who removes waste
- Display allergens for each stall
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Occasions we serve in Kings Cross
It is a hot meal for helpers as well.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Village fêtes and summer fairs

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Running an event in Kings Cross
Kings Cross is about 1 mile north-west of St Pancras, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Kings Cross or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Kings Cross is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.
PTAs at schools such as Argyle Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Holy Cross Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
This part of Greater London takes in NW1W, NW1 and N1, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. From Euston Road, Duke's Road and Phoenix Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. You’ll find Kings Cross on the A501 and A4200, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. Other places close to Kings Cross we cover include Somers Town (1 mile west), St Pancras (1 mile south-east), Euston (1 mile south-west), Bloomsbury (1 mile south) and Agar Town (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Kensington (4 miles south-west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Brompton (3 miles south-west).

The process
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. Winter fairs in Kings Cross are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
