How our fish and chip van hire works in Heathrow
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and company team days.
In a rural place like Heathrow, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evenings in Heathrow stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
