Christmas party fish and chips in Buckland, fried fresh
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. For end-of-year customer events and family Christmas get-togethers, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
In winter near Buckland, we need firm ground and light. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
