Christmas party fish and chips in Ufton Green, cooked to order
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and festive family gatherings, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
