How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Wivelsfield Green
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. On the menu are gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and staff Christmas parties.
In a small place like Wivelsfield Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
