How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ibworth
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for memorable photos. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and second-day and after-party food, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Ibworth often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
