Christmas party fish and chips for Stamford Hill events
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stamford Hill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. For warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and christmas fairs at schools, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Stamford Hill, 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. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. December in Stamford Hill means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

- Confirm allergies by email
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Collect allergies in advance
Send people out in groups.
