Upton questions
Which station is closest to Upton?
The closest is Forest Gate station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van park in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Upton?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Upton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Upton
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Upton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Christmas catering near Upton

Christmas fairs at a church such as St Peter's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Elmhurst Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
For Christmas parties in E7, E13 and E15, we just need to know where the van can park. Local streets include May Road, West Road and Park Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
