About our fish and chip van for events in Notting Dale
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, which helps volunteer-run events. Whether it’s community festivals and feeding event crew, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
In Notting Dale, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Information about power and water
Notting Dale 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, events in Notting Dale stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
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.

- Where the van would park

Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
