About our wedding fish and chip van in Uplees
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for rustic farm weddings and anniversary celebrations.
Rural weddings around Uplees have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count suppliers working late
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
