About our Christmas party fish and chips in Andover Down
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas customer days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In winter near Andover Down, we need firm ground and light. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
