Which station is closest to Ruislip?
The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Lawrence: can you come?
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.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Party fish and chip van for your party in Ruislip
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We serve gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for children’s parties and family reunions.
Most parties in Ruislip are at home, and in London that normally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
