Wedding fish and chip van in Troy Town, cooked to order
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater second-day and after-party food and informal weddings.
Rural weddings around Troy Town have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
