How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Branbridges
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include depot Christmas treats and christmas socials for clubs, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Branbridges, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Do you fry it on site?

What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
