About our Christmas party fish and chips in Keeper's Corner
The Christmas season is short and busy, so ask as soon as you know yours. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs at schools and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Keeper's Corner, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. It gets dark in Keeper's Corner by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
