How our corporate fish and chip catering works in West Hackney
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for warehouse, depot and site teams and end-of-project celebrations.
Around West Hackney, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
West Hackney is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
