Christmas party fish and chips for Waltham St Lawrence events
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Waltham St Lawrence
It suits teams on shifts, because service can be planned in waves. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings after Christmas and school and PTA Christmas fairs.
In a small place like Waltham St Lawrence, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Confirm allergies by email
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
