Book the van in Fortune Green
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote

A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We are often asked to cater ad shoots and seaside and period locations, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
London locations around Fortune Green can have tight access, so tell us the route and any height limits. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Questions from Fortune Green
Can the van park in Kilburn Grange Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Fortune Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Fortune Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
