FAQs for West Drayton
Can the van park in Lake Farm Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in West Drayton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening usually works best. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
West Drayton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose Christmas party fish and chips in West Drayton?
Few things beat hot fish and chips in December.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
