Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Planning the van’s spot

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

Space for people to queue at the hatch
Confirmation that the van can park there
A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

As a London location, Hackney Central is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter weddings in Hackney Central are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
