Party fish and chip van in Walthamstow Village
How our party fish and chip van works in Walthamstow Village
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for get-togethers with old friends and street parties.
In Walthamstow Village, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Common questions in Walthamstow Village
What about parking in Walthamstow Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Lloyd Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. At midsummer, it is light in Walthamstow Village until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
