About our wedding fish and chip van in Cranbrook
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and fish and chips is generous and warming after a long day. Whether it is informal weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Weddings in a place like Cranbrook frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What affects the price in Cranbrook
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
