Fresh fish and chips in Ruislip Manor
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and 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 is fried on the spot.
About our party fish and chip van in Ruislip Manor
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and street parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Most parties in Ruislip Manor are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. Send us a photo. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Perfect for your party in Ruislip Manor
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Anything awkward about the way in

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Ruislip Manor: your questions answered
Could you trade in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What about parking in Ruislip Manor?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
