About our wedding fish and chip van in Murston
It’s relaxed and a little bit fun: guests in their wedding best queuing for fish and chips makes for great photos. Whether it is seaside-themed weddings and food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For a smaller place like Murston, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
