Christmas party fish and chips in North Holmwood, fried fresh
Family get-togethers over the festive season can use a van too, if the date suits. We are often asked to cater end-of-year club parties and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a Christmas get-together near North Holmwood, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
