Christmas party fish and chips in Hascombe, fried fresh
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We’re frequently asked to cater festive family gatherings and christmas markets and fairs, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In winter near Hascombe, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
