How our wedding fish and chip van works in Binsted
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and laid-back receptions.
