Fresh fish and chips in East Burnham
Christmas party fish and chips in East Burnham, fried fresh
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas family parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like East Burnham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Flag any coeliac guests
Send people out in groups in the cold.
