How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Faberstown
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include depot Christmas treats and club and society Christmas socials, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a Christmas party near Faberstown, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. It gets dark in Faberstown by about 4:00pm at Christmas; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
