About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wissenden
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and christmas fairs at schools, serving cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce.
In winter near Wissenden, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

What’s the nearest station to Wissenden?

Does the batter contain gluten?

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
