Christmas party fish and chips in West Chiltington Common, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re often asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and PTA Christmas events, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a festive party in West Chiltington Common, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
