Christmas party fish and chips in Sutton
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Sutton
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and club and society Christmas socials, with mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce.
For a Christmas party near Sutton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
