Christmas party fish and chips in Little Mill
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Little Mill
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. For christmas markets and fairs and festive gatherings after Christmas, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
In winter near Little Mill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Christmas parties in Little Mill: local tips

Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Beltring station, roughly 1.5 miles east of the centre. A winter fair at a school like East Peckham Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens on the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
