Christmas party fish and chips in Ashford Hill

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

How it works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Ashford Hill. An afternoon Christmas party in Ashford Hill can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Share the timings for the day
