How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Norton
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and staff Christmas parties, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In winter near Norton, we need firm ground and light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

If people are coming by rail, the closest railway station is Barnham station, roughly 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
