Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in East Chiltington
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For christmas socials for clubs and christmas family parties, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In winter near East Chiltington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
