Christmas party fish and chips in Rayners Lane, fried fresh
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. We’re often asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and PTA Christmas events, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Rayners Lane, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
For event organisers in Rayners Lane
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.
