Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Sharnal Street

There is something special about a country wedding near Sharnal Street, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening food at a Sharnal Street wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
