A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Walthamstow
Could you trade in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Walthamstow?
Walthamstow Central station, in Walthamstow itself.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Walthamstow?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Walthamstow is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Bookings across Greater London, including Walthamstow

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

Before booking anyone
- Allergen information for each item

- Whether travel is included
- Payment terms and deposit
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Access the van can manage
Walthamstow 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.
