About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hackney Wick
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. Typical bookings include christmas socials for clubs and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
For Christmas parties in Hackney Wick, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Hackney Wick
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Wick?
Hackney Wick station, in Hackney Wick itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hackney Wick?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Hackney Wick in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
