Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Count suppliers working late

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
