Fish and chip van for events in Walthamstow Village, cooked to order
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re often asked to cater country shows and charity fundraisers and community events, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and chips.
Events in Walthamstow Village range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and the van needs a pitch it can reach. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Walthamstow Village? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
As a London location, Walthamstow Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
