Fish and chip van hire for your event in North Kensington
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In North Kensington, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. 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.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Classic food your guests already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Questions from North Kensington
We’re gathering after a service at Dissenters' Chapel: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to North Kensington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Kensington is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in North Kensington?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
