Christmas party fish and chips in Printstile
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Printstile
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a lit, sheltered spot, and a quick, organised service. Whether it’s festive family gatherings and christmas lunches for shift teams, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Printstile, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
