Party fish and chip van in Heathrow, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Whether it is big birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In a small place like Heathrow, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Heathrow: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Heathrow?
Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, in Heathrow itself.
How far is Heathrow from London?
About 16 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover Heathrow?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Heathrow and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, generally. Let us know numbers and ages.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Heathrow, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Events we cater in Heathrow
Hot food beats a buffet that is been out for hours.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Big birthdays
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Family celebrations after a christening
Within reach of Heathrow are historic houses such as Osterley House (4.6 miles east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How allergens are handled
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- What happens if plans change
