Bethnal Green in December: what to know
Bethnal Green is about 3 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. Tell us where your Christmas party in Bethnal Green will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We take the van to all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Lawdale Junior School, hot fish and chips goes down well. If a church like St Peter's is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
Here we cover the E2, E1 and E3 postcode area, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Patriot Square, Ion Square and Victoria Park Square, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You’ll find Bethnal Green on the B108 and B118, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Bethnal Green, we also cover Cambridge Heath (1 mile north-east), London Fields (1 mile north), Shoreditch (1 mile west), Haggerston (1 mile north-west) and Stepney (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include London (3 miles south-west), City of Westminster (4 miles west), Marylebone (4 miles west), Kensington (6 miles west), Walthamstow (4 miles north) and Hampstead (5 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Holy Trinity (0.7 miles south-east) and Hackney Walk (1.3 miles north). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

What else we do in Bethnal Green
Bethnal Green: your questions answered
Could you trade in Bethnal Green Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bethnal Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where the van can park in Bethnal Green
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Bethnal Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
