Christmas party fish and chips in Bridgemary, cooked to order
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater festive open days and PTA Christmas events.
In Bridgemary, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. December in Bridgemary means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
