Fresh fish and chips in Stone Hill
Christmas party fish and chips in Stone Hill, cooked to order
It suits teams on shifts, with service timed to each group. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and christmas fairs at schools, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Stone Hill, 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, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
