How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ascott-under-Wychwood

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.
