Party fish and chip van in Heston
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Heston, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your party in Heston, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

FAQs for Heston
We’re gathering after a service at St Leonard's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Heston?
The closest is Southall station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you come to Heston?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Heston is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
