Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Horsenden

Rural weddings around Horsenden have a magic of their own, 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.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
