Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Ash Vale
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and depot Christmas treats.
At a festive party in Ash Vale, a chip van on the drive is a treat on a dark December evening. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
