About our Christmas party fish and chips in Salvington
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re often asked to cater warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and family Christmas get-togethers, serving pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
In Salvington, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
