Fish and chip van for events for Heathrow events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Heathrow
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we’ll let you know if we’re available. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for country shows and food for volunteers.
Near Heathrow, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Heathrow, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

FAQs for Heathrow
How far is Heathrow from London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a school fair in Heathrow?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What affects the price in Heathrow
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
