Fresh fish and chips in Holland Park
How our fish and chip van hire works in Holland Park
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions in Holland Park. Typical bookings include christmas parties and summer garden parties, serving haddock and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
Streets in Holland Park are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Holland Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price

Holland Park: your questions answered
What about parking in Holland Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Holland Park?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cover Holland Park?
We do. Holland Park is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan bins near the queue
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is

- Anything awkward about the way in

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
