About our Christmas party fish and chips in Waltham Chase
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. For end-of-year customer events and christmas lunches for shift teams, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Waltham Chase, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
