Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
