Fish and chip van for events in Heston, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For fundraisers and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, chips and curry sauce.
In Heston, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we need a pitch the van can reach. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Heston events: pitches and permissions
Heston is about 2 miles south of Southall, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Heston or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Heston to London (12 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, Southall station is about 1.4 miles away. Running a fête for a church like St Leonard's Church? A chip van draws people in.
Events anywhere in TW5, UB2 and TW3 start with a parking spot for the van. Your event could be at a house on Fern Lane, Sutton Road and Eton Avenue, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Heston is on the A3005, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. For events just outside Heston, we cover North Hyde (1 mile north), Norwood Green (1 mile north-east), Lampton (1 mile south-east), Hounslow West (1 mile south) and Osterley (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (12 miles east), City of Westminster (10 miles east), Marylebone (10 miles east), Kensington (8 miles east), St Pancras (12 miles east) and Shoreditch (13 miles east).

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What affects the price in Heston

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Heston, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
Heston 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’ll advise before booking.
