A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
