Common questions in Upper Walthamstow
Is parking a problem for the van in Upper Walthamstow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Upper Walthamstow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
