About our Christmas party fish and chips in Amport
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. Whether it’s depot Christmas treats and lights switch-on events, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Amport, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it’s dark in Amport by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
