Questions from Ruislip Gardens
Which station is closest to Ruislip Gardens?
South Ruislip station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Church Field Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What time is best for food?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. Sunset in Ruislip Gardens in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.

How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Ruislip Gardens is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
