About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ladwell
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. Typical bookings include christmas markets and fairs and depot Christmas treats, with gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a Christmas party near Ladwell, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
