Fish and chip van for events in South Kenton, fried fresh
We trade at village fêtes, school fairs, sports days, festivals and shows. For club open days and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Events in South Kenton range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in South Kenton
Which station is closest to South Kenton?
South Kenton has its own station: South Kenton station.
What about parking in South Kenton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Details of any power or water on site
- A clear route onto the pitch
South Kenton 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.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in South Kenton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What else we do in South Kenton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Display allergens for each stall
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
- 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
