Where the van can park in Heathrow
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not blocking ambulance bays

Care home fish and chips in Heathrow, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater seaside days and friday fish and chip treats.
At a rural home near Heathrow, access matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Heathrow
What’s the nearest station to Heathrow?
Heathrow has its own station: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station.
Do you come out to small places like Heathrow?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
