How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Garlinge Green
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We’re frequently asked to cater PTA Christmas events and family Christmas get-togethers, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Garlinge Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.

What food do you serve?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
