It’s that time of the year again. We are officially in the festive period as Winter Wonderland opens its doors once again in London Hyde Park. It’s open every day from 21st Nov to 5th Jan (except on Christmas Day) from 10 am-10 pm. Rides and funfair booths aside, food plays a big part in your Winter Wonderland experience. We’ve come a long way from having only churros & hot chocolate to lots more halal food options available at Winter Wonderland now year by year! In this article, we’ve put together a list of Winter Wonderland halal food options available for this year and have split them by areas to make it easier for you to find them.
Please note, unlike in previous years, you now need to purchase a ticket for entry to Winter Wonderland. Off-peak tickets are free, which is usually around morning and noon. Otherwise, standard tickets start at £5 per person and peak times from £7.50 per person. You will only be allowed entry on your selected day & arrival time and you are then welcome to stay there as long as you wish.
Where to Find Halal Food in Winter Wonderland
The Christmas Market
Feya London
The Viral Dubai Chocolate – that’s all you need to know to check out Feya at this year’s Winter Wonderland. Other than the Pistachio Kunafa flavour, they also do Chai Kunafa, Rose & Saffron Kunafa, Lotus Crunch, and Brownie de Leche flavours. They are also serving up Basque Cheesecake and a range of flavour-filled croissants, all perfect to be served with a warming cup of karak chai.
Yorkshire Burrito
It doesn’t get more quintessentially British than a Sunday roast wrapped in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire Burrito has been all the hype & attention in Camden Market and they’ve now come to Winter Wonderland to serve up a hearty roast in the form of a street food wrap.
The Arepa London
Enjoy a taste of Venezuelan arepas at The Arepa London. Choose from pulled beef, pulled chicken, cheese, or beans and plantains as your filling, and also find a range of other Latin American snacks such as tequeños, empanadas, nachos and fries there.
Smoketeers
You can’t go wrong with a good plate of halal steak & fries and pulled brisket burgers under the festive vibes at Winter Wonderland. Smoketeers is here to give you exactly that. They pride themselves on serving prime-quality meats and promise a burst of freshness & fantastic flavours with every bite.
Street Food Village
Sen Noods
Ramen noodles is always the answer when it comes to these cold winter months. Sen Noods is here to give you that perfect hug-in-a-bowl to slurp away at this year’s Winter Wonderland. Choose from the Miso Chicken Ramen or Tofu Vegan Ramen and it’ll keep you all nice & warm to enjoy the festivities.
Meathead Mexican
As one of Camden Market’s most popular halal food stalls, Meathead Mexican, is joining the Winter Wonderland line-up again this year to serve you delicious halal birria tacos with a consomme dip. Whether it’s the slow-cooked pulled beef, chipotle chicken, or Achiote spiced lamb tacos, you’re definitely going to be in for a treat.
The Mac Factory
It doesn’t get more comforting than a hearty bowl of mac & cheese on a cold winter evening. Your cravings are all sorted at The Mac Factory, which has been a very popular pick at Winter Wonderland over the last few years. All toppings & fillings are halal except for the Parmesan crumble. Please ask for the herb crumble as a halal substitute.
Only Jerkin’
When I see Only Jerkin’, I just have to treat myself to their incredibly delicious Caribbean fried chicken. Without a doubt, they are one of the most loved street food stalls in town over the years and their food is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Do not forget to order their signature jerk gravy!
E8 Fish
You cannot go wrong with a good ole’ plate of fish & chips. E8 Fish serves up a number of British classics including halal fish & chips (comes with homemade tarragon tartar, minty mushy peas topped with lemon & chives and Old Bay fries), calamari & chips, and battered cod brioche sandwich. Additionally, they are also serving halloumi fries this year!

All their fried chicken is marinated with garlic & buttermilk, then dredged through their signature spice mix to create a succulent mouth-watering delight. served with gourmet fries and a selection of craft sauces.

Love Churros
Here are more churros options available for you! If you want fancier churros, look out for Love Churros for their hot & filled churros. It doesn’t get more indulgent than freshly fried churros filled up to the brim with your pick of either Biscoff, Nutella, Kinder, or Dulce de Leche. Regular churros are also available, which come dusted with sugar and are served with a luscious Belgian chocolate dipping sauce.
The Sleigh-By
Wok Boy
Wok Boy is another popular halal Camden food stall to join the Winter Wonderland line-up. You simply can’t go wrong with a loaded box of Chinese chow mein, especially when they’re topped with some crispy Korean fried chicken as well!

The Mac Daddy
Instead of mac & cheese, The Mac Daddy is offering gourmet sourdough cheese toasties at this year’s Winter Wonderland. If you fancy and are in need of a little hug in a bowl, you can also order it with a bowl of soup on the side.
Chimney Cakes Lady
In my opinion, Hungarian chimney cakes are a must at Winter Wonderland. You can’t go wrong with a classic cinnamon sugar coating, but you can also get Oreo, coconut, or sprinkles. Fancy something more indulgent? Go for their filled chimney cakes with Nutella, Biscoff or white chocolate!
