Christmas party fish and chips in Priestwood, cooked to order
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for christmas socials for clubs and festive open days.
For a Christmas party near Priestwood, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
For event organisers in Priestwood
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
