Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.

Wedding fish and chip van in Ealing, fried fresh
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. For vow renewal parties and pre-wedding get-togethers, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
In Ealing, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Where the van can park in Ealing
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Ealing questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Saviour's Church: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Ealing?
The closest is Ealing Broadway station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
