How our fish and chip van for events works in Kitts End
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and sports days and village fêtes and summer fairs, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Street parties and school fairs in Kitts End are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Kitts End events: pitches and permissions
Kitts End is in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the EN5 area, we can bring the van to you. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 13 miles away.
Events in parks such as King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. Running a fête for a church like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin? A chip van draws people in.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Kitts End? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, Kitts End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer fêtes in Kitts End have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
