Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cover Findon and the whole of West Sussex
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
