Wedding fish and chip van in Ruislip Gardens, cooked to order
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for vow renewal parties and laid-back receptions.
For a wedding in Ruislip Gardens, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Common questions in Ruislip Gardens
Could you trade in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Count suppliers working late
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
