Christmas party fish and chips in Hill Grove, fried fresh
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and club and society Christmas socials, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Hill Grove, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
