Christmas party fish and chips in Southborough
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Southborough
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for christmas markets and fairs and christmas socials for clubs.
For a Christmas get-together near Southborough, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. It gets dark in Southborough by about 3:55pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
