Fish and chip van hire in NW5: what to expect
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We serve pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and summer get-togethers.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
What you will pay
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Also close by are Haverstock School (within half a mile west), The Hawley Arms (under half a mile south), North Bridge House School (0.6 miles south) and Primrose Hill (0.7 miles south-west). Kentish Town has its own railway station: Kentish Town West station. Nearby you will also find Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead (1 mile north-west) and Isokon Gallery (0.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include The Long Water and Primrose Hill.
Planning a chip van in NW5
NW5 covers everything from Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and Tufnell Park to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Kentish Town: Thinking of using Primrose Hill? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. For guests coming by train, Kentish Town West station is in Kentish Town itself. Around midsummer it stays light in Kentish Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park.
What your quote should include
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Any minimum charge
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in NW5? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
