Christmas party fish and chips in Worting, fried fresh
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 are frequently asked to cater festive open days and christmas socials for clubs, with cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
Around Worting, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, it is dark in Worting by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
