- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Castle Hill
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas socials for clubs.
For a Christmas party near Castle Hill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
