About our Christmas party fish and chips in Waltham Forest
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for family Christmas get-togethers and new Year parties.
For Christmas parties in Waltham Forest, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Where the van can park in Waltham Forest

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Waltham Forest is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Step by step
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. Sunset in Waltham Forest in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
