Party fish and chip van in Hackney, fried fresh
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so one van feeds the whole party. For retirement celebrations and anniversary celebrations, we can cook curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Planning a London party in Hackney? A van means no cooking for you, and works on drives, in yards and at hired halls. Mention any parking restrictions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hackney
What about parking in Hackney?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Hackney?
Homerton station, in Hackney itself.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where the van can park in Hackney
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Hackney is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, it’s light in Hackney until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
