About our Christmas party fish and chips in Itchingfield
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we are frequently booked for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
For a Christmas party near Itchingfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in Itchingfield
Do you come out to small places like Itchingfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Itchingfield from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Itchingfield is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
