- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Wedding fish and chip van in Kensal Rise, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We are often asked to cater laid-back receptions and seaside-themed weddings, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
In Kensal Rise, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
