DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How our party fish and chip van works in Kensal Town
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. Popular choices include gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and family parties with children.
Most parties in Kensal Town are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a photo. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your party. Midsummer parties in Kensal Town stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Events we cater in Kensal Town
It feels like a treat, and it gets people talking.
In Kensal Town and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Family reunions
- Summer garden parties
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Street parties and neighbourhood events
A green space like Emslie Horniman's Pleasance is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- When final numbers are due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- How much space the van takes up
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Kensal Town is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
