Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Notting Dale, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Notting Dale: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Sava?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Notting Dale?
Shepherds Bush station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. We do the cooking. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Notting Dale hosts choose us
- Classic food your guests already know
