A chip van near Upton Park
Christmas party fish and chips in Upton Park, fried fresh
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. We’re often asked to cater new Year parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
For Christmas parties in Upton Park, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. 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, with no surprises on the day.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Christmas catering near Upton Park
Upton Park is about 5 miles south-east of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Upton Park or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 764 places across Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Woodgrange Park station, roughly 1.2 miles north of the centre. A winter fair at a school like St Edward's Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
Upton Park 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.
