About our Christmas party fish and chips in Hampden Park

It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, with service timed to each group. Typical bookings include end-of-year club parties and depot Christmas treats, with gravy, curry sauce and mushy peas.

In Hampden Park, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
