About our Christmas party fish and chips in Oare
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Whether it is christmas family parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and more.
For a Christmas party near Oare, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
