Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Heston 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’ll advise.

Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Heston
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. For festive open days and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For Christmas parties in Heston, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Questions from Heston
Could you trade in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Heston?
The closest is Southall station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan cover for the queue
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. An afternoon Christmas party in Heston can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
