Fish and chip van hire in Eastcote, cooked to order
Rain does not stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. We are frequently asked to cater birthday celebrations and weddings and evening receptions, with mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.
In Eastcote, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Light matters for evening service: in Eastcote, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

A fish and chip van in Eastcote: local details
Eastcote is about 1 mile north-east of Ruislip, in Greater London. We serve events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Eastcote and nearby villages. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 14 miles away.
A green space like Eastcote House Gardens is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Headstone Lane station, roughly 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Eastcote is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Eastcote questions
Can you serve after a service at St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Eastcote?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
- 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
