What affects the price in North Kensington
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
North Kensington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in North Kensington stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

FAQs for North Kensington
Do you trade at school fairs around North Kensington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
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 photo if you’re not sure.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
