Christmas party fish and chips in Mayford
Christmas party fish and chips in Mayford, cooked to order
It works for teams who cannot all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. Whether it’s staff Christmas parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Mayford, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
