How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Level, firm ground at base
Ruislip Manor 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Ruislip Manor
Which station is closest to Ruislip Manor?
The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Could you trade in Church Field Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Typically, if there is level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
