Christmas party fish and chips in Chilworth, fried fresh

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Chilworth in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
