Planning wedding fish and chips in Heathrow
Heathrow is about 2 miles north-west of Feltham, in Surrey. People in Heathrow book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 16 miles away.
If you want countryside in your photos, Crane Meadows is not far, and the countryside around Heathrow suits an outdoor reception. Put the station on your invitation: there’s a station right in Heathrow: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station.

Wedding fish and chip van in Heathrow, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are frequently asked to cater evening wedding food and barn weddings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Heathrow, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At a December wedding in Heathrow, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Heathrow
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Heathrow? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. 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 will quote.
Why Heathrow hosts choose us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Heathrow
Do you come out to small places like Heathrow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Heathrow close to London?
About 16 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
