Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Lee Gate
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. We are often asked to cater christmas socials for clubs and family Christmas get-togethers, with pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas party near Lee Gate, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
