Christmas party fish and chips in Nash, cooked to order
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We’re often asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and lights switch-on events, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
For a Christmas party near Nash, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

For event organisers in Nash
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. 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.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Nash: your questions answered
How far is Nash from London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Book as early as possible for December
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
