How our wedding fish and chip van works in Fortune Green
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for coastal-themed receptions and informal weddings.
In Fortune Green, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Getting married in Fortune Green?
Fortune Green is about 1 mile west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Tell us where your wedding in Fortune Green will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Fortune Green is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Fortune Green to London (about 6 miles away).
Kilburn Grange Park can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first. Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Luke frequently hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall.
Anywhere in NW3, NW6 and NW2, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Mill Lane, Ajax Road and Sarre Road; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to weddings in West Hampstead (1 mile east), Childs Hill (1 mile north), Hampstead (1 mile east), Greenhill (1 mile east) and Vale of Health (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles south-east), City of Westminster (3 miles south-east), Marylebone (3 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south), St Pancras (4 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (5 miles east).
A little further out are Isokon Gallery (1.4 miles east) and Frognal and Fitzjohns (under half a mile east). The countryside around Fortune Green includes The Long Water and Westbere Copse.
- Local schools include Hampstead School (0.5 miles west) and St Vedasts School For Boys (0.5 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include Holly Bush pub (0.7 miles east)
What affects the price in Fortune Green
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Fortune Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Fortune Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about parking in Fortune Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What time is best for the van?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
