Fresh fish and chips in Notting Hill

Fish and chip van hire in Notting Hill, cooked to order

There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. For weddings and evening receptions and company team days, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.

From a family drive to an office yard, bookings in Notting Hill come in all shapes. Tell us how the van gets in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

15 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Notting Hill

Which station is closest to Notting Hill?

Shepherds Bush station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.

What about parking in Notting Hill?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Do you take everything away?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What you get with us

  • Bookings across Greater London, including Notting Hill
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Something for guests to gather round
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

See our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.

Should I sort the food myself?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
  • Count children separately
  • Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
  • Put allergy details in writing

Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

How the day works

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. By late September, sunset in Notting Hill is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Clear the route for the van

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

For event organisers in Notting Hill

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

What affects the price in Notting Hill

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Expected numbers
