Nash Street: your questions answered
Is Nash Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Nash Street from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does the van 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 you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
What affects the price in Nash Street
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers

- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
