How our wedding fish and chip van works in Holborough
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Whether it is anniversary celebrations and evening wedding food, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
In Holborough, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
