Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Nash
A Christmas party does not have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater festive gatherings after Christmas and christmas customer days.
For a Christmas party near Nash, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 usually the easier option.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

FAQs for Nash
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Nash from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a Christmas party that feels a bit different, a fish and chip van is a great choice. 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 Christmas party.
