How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Tyler Hill
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We are often asked to cater end-of-year club parties and festive family gatherings, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In winter near Tyler Hill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
