DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Fyfield
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for end-of-year club parties and staff Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Fyfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
