Christmas party fish and chips in Pinewood Village, fried fresh
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We are frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and office Christmas parties, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Pinewood Village, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The van needs a lit spot and a firm surface. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan cover for the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it is dark in Pinewood Village by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
