Common questions in Ruislip Manor
Do you trade at school fairs around Ruislip Manor?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s the nearest station to Ruislip Manor?
West Ruislip station, about 1.1 miles west of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Display allergens for each stall
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Space for a queue away from paths
As a London location, Ruislip Manor is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
