Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Kentish Town
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for staff lunches and team days and gatherings after a funeral.
From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Kentish Town come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What else we do in Kentish Town
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Kentish Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Kentish Town
Could you trade in Primrose Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Kentish Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Kentish Town.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.

The menu, dish by dish

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
