Fresh fish and chips in Hackney Marshes
Corporate fish and chip catering in Hackney Marshes, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater a monthly Fish Friday and charity days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Hackney Marshes, lunch breaks are frequently short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Lunchtime staff treats in Hackney Marshes are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
