Weddings in Hurlingham: venues, ceremonies and travel
Hurlingham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. People in Hurlingham book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Hurlingham is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van.
If you want countryside in your photos, WWT London Wetland Centre isn’t far, and the countryside around Hurlingham suits an outdoor reception. Couples marrying at local churches such as St Dionis often hold the reception nearby, with the van parked by the marquee or hall.
For weddings in SW6, SW18 and SW15, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Buer Road, Ewald Road and Dolby Road, and the van can serve a wedding on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A304, Hurlingham is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places where we serve weddings include Parsons Green (1 mile north), Walham Green (1 mile north-east), Chelsea Harbour (1 mile east), Sands End (1 mile east) and West Brompton (1 mile north).

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Hurlingham
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We’re often asked to cater pre-wedding get-togethers and weddings in a marquee or garden, with mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Couples in Hurlingham frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Hurlingham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Other occasions in Hurlingham
Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. Golden-hour photos in Hurlingham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
FAQs for Hurlingham
Can the van park in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hurlingham?
The closest is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
