Wedding fish and chip van in Betsham, fried fresh
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Whether it is vow renewal parties and evening food for day and evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Betsham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
