Party fish and chip van for your party in Kensal Green

There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and birthday parties, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

In Kensal Green, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a picture. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What the van needs

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A spot near your guests

As a London location, Kensal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Let your neighbours know
  • Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
  • Have a back-up for special diets

After service, we pack up.

Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

Questions from Kensal Green

Can the van park in Little Wormwood Scrubs?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

We are gathering after a service at St Martin: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Can you park at our house?

That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

When should we book for a summer party?

Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.

What happens on the day

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Kensal Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

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

  • How many people are eating
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The minimum booking
  • Service time

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Details that help

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers
  • Where the van would park
  • Your date and serving time

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
