How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hacton

- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Give us break and shift times
- Consider a pre-order list
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

Before you choose a 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
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Hacton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. For an end-of-day event in Hacton, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm.

- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive

- Have a level parking spot ready

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
