Wedding fish and chip van for Teston events
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Teston
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Typical bookings include relaxed, informal receptions and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Teston, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
