Questions from Hackney Wick
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary of Eton: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hackney Wick?
Hackney Wick station, in Hackney Wick itself.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What time is best for the van?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hackney Wick
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for vow renewal parties and laid-back receptions.
In Hackney Wick, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning wedding fish and chips in Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick is about 1 mile west of Stratford, in Greater London. From the centre of Hackney Wick to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Hackney Wick is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Old Ford Island nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Hackney Wick has its own station, Hackney Wick station.
For weddings in E3, E9 and E20, we just need to know where the van can park. Local streets include Wick Lane, Dace Road and Wyke Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve weddings include Fish Island (1 mile south), Donnybrook Quarter (1 mile south-west), Old Ford (1 mile south), Temple Mills (1 mile north-east) and East Village (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include V&A East (less than half a mile east) and Homerton University Hospital (1.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Hackney Wick includes Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
- Nearby schools include Mulberry UTC (0.6 miles south) and Mulberry UTC (0.6 miles south)
- Nearby, you will find The Lea Tavern (under half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Park (under half a mile south-west)
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer wedding in Hackney Wick, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
