Party fish and chip van in Kensington, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and we are frequently booked for engagement parties and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Most parties in Kensington are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Kensington: your questions answered
Could you trade in Holland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Kensington?
Kensington Olympia station, in Kensington itself.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
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 tell you honestly.
Do you come to Kensington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Kensington and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Kensington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Kensington 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.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Show us where the van would go
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
