Food your guests will love

Other occasions in Eastcote
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Common questions in Eastcote
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What about parking in Eastcote?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Eastcote? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- A clear route to base
As a London location, Eastcote is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
