Film set catering for Nash events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our film set catering in Nash
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater photo shoots and crew lunches at base.
In Nash, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning a shoot in Nash
Nash is about 3 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London. Around Nash, we park wherever there is level, firm ground, close to your crew. We take the van to 764 places in Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
Historic houses near Nash include Down House (2.4 miles south-east) and Addington Palace (2.4 miles west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Long summer days in Nash, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time

FAQs for Nash
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is parking a problem for the van in Nash?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Nash?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Clear of the shot and sound
As a London location, Nash is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 booking.
From the hatch
