About our Christmas party fish and chips in The Pound
A fish and chip van in the car park or outside the venue gives everyone a hot meal. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In winter near The Pound, we need firm ground and light. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
