About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ramsnest Common
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and club and society Christmas socials, with haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Near Ramsnest Common, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Ramsnest Common in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
