About our Christmas party fish and chips in Graffham
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and christmas customer days.
In winter near Graffham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
Send people out in groups.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
