How our party fish and chip van works in Hackbridge
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for big birthdays and retirement parties.
In Hackbridge, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A picture helps. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Hackbridge
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Hackbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
