Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Westwell Leacon
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 are not outside for long. We serve gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and festive family gatherings.
Near Westwell Leacon, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
