Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Tattenham Corner
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for staff Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas.
For a Christmas party near Tattenham Corner, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
