About our Christmas party fish and chips in Bodicote
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We’re frequently asked to cater staff Christmas parties and end-of-year customer events, with mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce.
Around Bodicote, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
