How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Walthamstow
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas lunches for shift teams and work Christmas parties.
For Christmas parties in Walthamstow, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. In London, access needs planning. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Walthamstow
Which station is closest to Walthamstow?
Walthamstow Central station, in Walthamstow itself.
What about parking in Walthamstow?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do you cover Walthamstow?
We do. We serve events in Walthamstow and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At about 3:50pm in late December, it gets dark in Walthamstow; light the path to the van.
