For event organisers in Southall

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • The minimum booking
  • How far we travel
  • The date and time of year
  • The menu and how many choices

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What we need to know

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Your date and serving time
  • A picture of the space and the way in

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

Space, access and the venue

We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

Southall 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.

Questions from Southall

Which station is closest to Southall?

Southall has its own station: Southall station.

We’re gathering after a service at Saint John: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Will the van fit on our drive?

That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Send us a picture of the drive
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
  • Flag any coeliac guests

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.

Plan cover in case of showers.

Our booking checklist

The process

There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. In Southall, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

  1. It starts with your date, address and numbers.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Getting a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
