How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Golden Pot
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. Typical bookings include warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and club and society Christmas socials, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
Near Golden Pot, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
