Christmas party fish and chips for Soberton events
Christmas party fish and chips in Soberton, fried fresh
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Whether it is festive gatherings after Christmas and family Christmas get-togethers, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Soberton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Soberton?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
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.

Questions from Soberton

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
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.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Book as early as possible for December
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the van can park on site
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
