Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events in Nashes Green have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Nashes Green
What’s the nearest station to Nashes Green?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Nashes Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- What’s available on the pitch
