How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Hill Head
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. We’re frequently asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and festive family gatherings, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
In winter near Hill Head, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Have a back-up for special diets
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Common questions in Hill Head
Can you serve near the sea around Hill Head?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Hill Head close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van come to Hill Head?
Yes, we do. Hill Head is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
