About our wedding fish and chip van in Russ Hill
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 hot fish and chips hits the spot. We’re often asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and weddings in a marquee or garden, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Russ Hill have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding in Russ Hill. For a summer wedding in Russ Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
