About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Winter weddings in Shorne Ridgeway are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
