Fish and chip van hire in Heston, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. For staff lunches and team days and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
In a London neighbourhood like Heston, the van generally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. The thing to plan is where the van stops, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

Common questions in Heston

Could you trade in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Heston
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. 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 event.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before you book
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
