Christmas party fish and chips for Lower Froyle events
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Lower Froyle, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Lower Froyle
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. Whether it’s warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and PTA Christmas events, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Lower Froyle, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
