Christening & Celebration Catering in Sussex

Stress-free mobile catering for christenings, baptisms, naming ceremonies, and family celebrations.

Celebrate Life's Special Moments with Great Food

A christening, baptism, or naming ceremony is a joyful occasion — a time to gather family and friends to celebrate a new life. The last thing you want is the stress of organising catering on top of everything else. Alfresco's mobile fish and chip van takes the hassle out of feeding your guests, so you can focus on what matters: the celebration itself.

We have catered at christenings and family celebrations across Sussex for over 25 years. From small, intimate gatherings of 20 guests to larger parties of 100 or more, we bring freshly cooked food, friendly service, and a van that adds a fun, memorable touch to your day.

Why Fish & Chips for Your Christening?

Everyone Loves It

Fish and chips is the great unifier — grandparents, parents, teenagers, and toddlers all enjoy it. It is the one catering choice you do not need to worry about.

Kids-Friendly Menu

Our menu is packed with options children love: chicken nuggets, sausages, fishcakes, and chips. Smaller portions mean less waste and happy little faces.

No Venue Kitchen Needed

Our van is completely self-sufficient. We set up outside your church hall, garden, or community centre — no kitchen, no power, no water connection required.

Relaxed & Informal

After the formality of the service, guests love the relaxed atmosphere of gathering around our van. It creates a warm, sociable mood that brings everyone together.

Celebrations We Cater For

Christenings & Baptisms

The most popular family celebration we cater. We set up outside the church hall or at your home after the service, ready to serve as guests arrive.

Naming Ceremonies

A modern alternative to traditional christenings, naming ceremonies deserve equally special catering. Our van adds a unique, memorable touch.

First Communions & Confirmations

Mark these milestone occasions with food that the whole family — and especially the children — will enjoy.

Family Reunions

Getting the extended family together? Our van feeds everyone efficiently so you can spend time catching up, not cooking.

Anniversary Celebrations

Silver, golden, or diamond — mark your milestone with the food your family loves. We cater anniversary parties from 20 to 200+ guests across Sussex.

Garden Parties

Our van turns any garden into an event space. Perfect for summer celebrations where you want great food without the stress of barbecuing for hours.
