A chip van near South Ealing
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, South Ealing is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in South Ealing
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it’s most welcome. We are often asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and laid-back receptions, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a wedding in South Ealing, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in South Ealing
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
