How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Baldslow
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. We’re often asked to cater club and society Christmas socials and festive family gatherings, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In winter near Baldslow, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
