About our wedding fish and chip van in South Oxhey
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. For pre-wedding get-togethers and evening food for day and evening guests, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
London weddings around South Oxhey frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
