About our wedding fish and chip van in St Johns
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. For food after the first dance and second-day and after-party food, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In St Johns, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
