About our Christmas party fish and chips in Southington
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We are often asked to cater work Christmas parties and christmas family parties, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Southington, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, it is dark in Southington by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
