Chip van hire across W8
From Kensington, Notting Hill and Holland Park to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across W8 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Holland Park: Thinking of using Kensington Palace Green? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. After a service at Church of St George, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Late September evenings in Holland Park lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

FAQs for W8
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
