Fresh fish and chips in Firgo
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Firgo
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and christmas customer days, with gravy, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
In winter near Firgo, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

Planning for dietary needs

- December Fridays go first: book early
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Firgo; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
