Christmas party fish and chips in Kimpton, cooked to order
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Typical bookings include office Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Kimpton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
