Christmas party fish and chips in Bullingstone, cooked to order
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We’re frequently asked to cater PTA Christmas events and christmas markets and fairs, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Bullingstone, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
FAQs for Bullingstone
Is Bullingstone close to London?

Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
