About our party fish and chip van in North Kensington
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for kids’ birthday parties and retirement parties.
In North Kensington, 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. A picture helps. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, North Kensington 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
