How our wedding fish and chip van works in Brands Hill
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming late in the evening. Typical bookings include engagement celebrations and evening food for day and evening guests, with cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brands Hill, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
