How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your Christmas party. Plan your Christmas party in West Ealing around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in West Ealing?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover West Ealing and the whole of Greater London
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A clear quote before you book
See our prices page or the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in West Ealing
Which station is closest to West Ealing?
Hanwell station, in West Ealing itself.
Can the van park in Drayton Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

- Any minimum charge

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, West Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
