Fish and chip van for events for Paddington Green events
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out
- Classic food your visitors already know
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Paddington Green
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We’re frequently asked to cater crew and volunteer catering and sports tournaments, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Paddington Green need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Paddington Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Paddington Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Paddington Green?
Paddington Green has its own station: London Paddington station.
Could you trade in Kensington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events in Paddington Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
