About our Christmas party fish and chips in Monk Sherborne
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater school and PTA Christmas fairs and christmas customer days.
In a small place like Monk Sherborne, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan cover for the queue
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Monk Sherborne; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
