Party fish and chip van in Haggerston, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings.
Most parties in Haggerston are at home, and in London that generally means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can often go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. Send us a picture. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A few lights around the van look great.

FAQs for Haggerston
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Columba?

What’s the nearest station to Haggerston?
Haggerston has its own station: Hoxton station.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park on the road outside?

What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
