DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Common questions in West Drayton
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Lake Farm Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
West Drayton 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
