How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Liss Forest
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it is christmas lunches for shift teams and work Christmas parties, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Liss Forest, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Do you cater Christmas fairs?

What happens if it rains?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
