How our party fish and chip van works in Hackney Wick
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. On the menu are curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for garden get-togethers and kids’ birthday parties.
Most parties in Hackney Wick are at home, and in London that typically means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
