How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ealing

The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Typical bookings include christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, serving pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.

Around Ealing, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ealing: your questions answered

Can the van park in Walpole Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is parking a problem for the van in Ealing?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.

When do you arrive?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What if it’s raining or freezing?

We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

For event organisers in Ealing

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Planning help

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Gravy

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The date and time of year
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Access and parking
  • Any minimum charge

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and serving time

Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
