Wedding fish and chip van in Wherwell Wood
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Wherwell Wood
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and rustic farm weddings.
Near Wherwell Wood, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
