Fish and chip van hire for West Kensington events
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
As a London location, West Kensington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Fish and chip van hire in West Kensington, fried fresh
Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is evening wedding food and garden get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
Streets in West Kensington are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Tell us what you have. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- A short menu helps everyone
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tell people when the van opens.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

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. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

West Kensington questions
What about parking in West Kensington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Cuthbert's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
