Wedding fish and chip van in North Hayling
Wedding fish and chip van in North Hayling, fried fresh
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and coastal-themed receptions, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near North Hayling, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
