How our wedding fish and chip van works in Shellwood Cross
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s seaside-themed weddings and engagement parties, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Shellwood Cross frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
