About our party fish and chip van in West Hackney
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For engagement parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Most parties in West Hackney are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

West Hackney questions
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Stoke Newington Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What affects the price in West Hackney
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
West Hackney is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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 before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
