About our fish and chip van hire in Hackney Wick
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It’s a dependable choice for events in any season. Whether it is care home visits and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Around Hackney Wick, most London bookings are at homes with a drive, workplaces with a car park, schools and halls. Parking is the main thing to plan, so let us know about off-street space or permits. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Hackney Wick
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. By late September, sunset in Hackney Wick is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van

Questions from Hackney Wick
Could you trade in Mabley Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary of Eton?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
