- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
West Ealing 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.

About our party fish and chip van in West Ealing
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue. For retirement parties and family reunions, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In West Ealing, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in West Ealing
Can the van park in Drayton Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to West Ealing?
Hanwell station, in West Ealing itself.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Step by step
