Party fish and chip van in West Kensington, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. We are frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and family parties with children, with pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In West 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 photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from West Kensington
Is parking a problem for the van in West Kensington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Gwendwr Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What affects the price in West Kensington
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
West 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
