Fresh fish and chips in Ruislip
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ruislip
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. We are frequently asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and work Christmas parties, serving pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
London Christmas parties in Ruislip are frequently at offices, pubs with a yard or homes with a drive. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

FAQs for Ruislip
Which station is closest to Ruislip?
West Ruislip station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Is parking a problem for the van in Ruislip?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Check the van can park on site
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
