About our wedding fish and chip van in Hurst Green
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and pre-wedding get-togethers, with mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Hurst Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
