Wallend: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wallend?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Wallend?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Of course. Just tell us who counts.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The location’s agreement
- Space in front of the hatch
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Wallend 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light in Wallend lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- 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
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
