The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Kensal Rise is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a picture of the drive
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
