Fresh fish and chips in West Hackney
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A route in without tight gates
- A lit spot for evening service
As a London location, West Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In West Hackney, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

West Hackney questions
Which station is closest to West Hackney?
West Hackney has its own station: Rectory Road station.
What about parking in West Hackney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
