Party fish and chip van in Ealing, cooked to order

You do not need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for reunions and family get-togethers and street parties and neighbourhood events.

Most parties in Ealing are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Arrange an alternative if needed
  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Flag any coeliac guests

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

As a London location, Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Gravy

Why choose a fish and chip van in Ealing?

Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What you get with us

  • Classic food your guests already know
  • A clear quote before booking
  • No kitchen needed
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Ealing parties: what to know

Ealing is about 7 miles west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Tell us where your party in Ealing will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Ealing is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Ealing to London (about 9 miles away).

A christening at St Saviour's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Walpole Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

Here we cover the W5, W13, W3 and NW10 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include High Street, Coleridge Square and Station Road; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Ealing is on the A40 and B452, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Nearby, we also serve parties in South Ealing (1 mile south), Pitshanger (1 mile north), Brentham Garden Suburb (1 mile north), Hanwell (1 mile west) and West Ealing (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (7 miles east), Marylebone (7 miles east), Kensington (5 miles east), St Pancras (8 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).

Other landmarks nearby include Municipal Borough of Ealing (within half a mile north) and Gunnersbury Park House - Large Mansion (1.2 miles south-east). Open spaces near Ealing include Castlebar Hill and Middle Lake.

  • Local schools include Christ the Saviour Church of England Primary School (within half a mile north-east) and Great Ealing School (within half a mile south)
  • Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (under half a mile south-east)
  • Local facilities include Library for Iranian Studies (1.5 miles east)

Events we cater in Ealing

There is no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Street parties and neighbourhood events
  • Family parties with children
  • Birthday parties
  • Christenings and naming days

Nearby historic houses include Pitzhanger Manor (within half a mile east) and Gunnersbury Park (1.1 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

15 questions to ask before booking

Ealing questions

Which station is closest to Ealing?

Ealing Broadway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Can the van park in Walpole Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

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 be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Midsummer parties in Ealing stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What a fish and chip van costs

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • The length of service
  • Parking and the way in
  • The minimum booking
  • How far we travel

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What we need to know

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
