Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Walthamstow, fried fresh

Around Upper Walthamstow, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Upper Walthamstow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Upper Walthamstow; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
