Wedding fish and chip van in Heston, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for second-day and after-party food and laid-back receptions.
In Heston, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Heston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- The number of meals
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Some venue evening menus are light. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Questions from Heston
What’s the nearest station to Heston?
The closest is Southall station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Leonard's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Heston.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Heston, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
- 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
