Christmas party fish and chips in Brewer Street, cooked to order
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. We are often asked to cater christmas lunches for shift teams and staff Christmas parties, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips.
In winter near Brewer Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

The process

In December, it is dark in Brewer Street 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.
