Where the van can park in West Kensington
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
West Kensington 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in West Kensington
What’s the nearest station to West Kensington?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in Gwendwr Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Evening events in West Kensington have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
