Party fish and chip van in Fortune Green
Party fish and chip van in Fortune Green, cooked to order
There’s no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties.
In Fortune Green, a party at home is the usual choice, and parking is the question. A drive is ideal; otherwise, check what’s allowed on the street. A photo helps. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Fortune Green
Which station is closest to Fortune Green?
West Hampstead Thameslink station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Fortune Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
