Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Belbins
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. We are frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and festive gatherings after Christmas, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Belbins, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in Belbins. Sunset in Belbins in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
