Corporate fish and chip catering in Hackney Central, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include a monthly Fish Friday and celebrating a big win, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Hackney Central, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

FAQs for Hackney Central
Could you trade in Haggerston Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Hackney Central?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hackney Central.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Hackney Central is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
