About our Christmas party fish and chips in Linwood
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for festive family gatherings and festive gatherings after Christmas.
Near Linwood, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
