Christmas party fish and chips in Stelling Minnis
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Christmas party fish and chips in Stelling Minnis, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. We are often asked to cater christmas customer days and end-of-year club parties, serving mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
In winter near Stelling Minnis, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.

Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
