Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Curdridge
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and marquee and garden weddings, with curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Curdridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
