Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Eel Pie Island 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Eel Pie Island: your questions answered
What about parking in Eel Pie Island?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Eel Pie Island?
Eel Pie Island has its own station: Twickenham station.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Hosting a chip van party in Eel Pie Island
Eel Pie Island is about 1 mile east of Twickenham, in Greater London. For parties in Eel Pie Island, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Eel Pie Island is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
A green space like Marble Hill Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. If your drive is too small, local halls and clubs near Eel Pie Island can be an alternative, as long as the van can park outside.
Parties anywhere in TW1, TW10 and TW2 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. We can serve a party on streets such as Oak Lane, Sion Road and Bell Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Eel Pie Island drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send us a picture of the drive
It is worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
- 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
