Exmouth chip shop comes to rescue of couple’s wedding day

The couple’s original caterer was due to do a three-course meal.

Mrs Barnes said her team was “absolutely fantastic” and managed to pull off what she described as a “military operation” to get the job done.

She said “high-tech equipment” meant her husband was able to cook 30 fish at a time and the team got all the food ready and wrapped up in the space of 20 minutes.

“The bride was beside herself as she would have been obviously,” she said.

“Everyone had to be in the right stations and it was literally looking at your watch, time perfect and kind of going go, go, go.”

Mrs Barnes said the couple and wedding guests were “so lovely” about the food and she would not hesitate to do it again if asked.

She added: “I think if you’re in a position to do that in these times that we’re in at the moment, then why would you not?”
