Christmas party fish and chips in Haggerston, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For work Christmas parties and christmas fairs at schools, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Haggerston, the van needs a lit spot off the road, such as a car park, yard or drive. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

What else we do in Haggerston
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Haggerston
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

A winter fair at a school like Randal Cremer Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. A Christmas fair at Church of St Columba is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

Questions from Haggerston
Which station is closest to Haggerston?
Hoxton station, in Haggerston itself.
Can the van park in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if it is raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Haggerston by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
