How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Horsemere Green
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas socials and festive family gatherings, with gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In winter near Horsemere Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
