Fish and chip van hire for Nash events
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Nash
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and birthday celebrations, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In Nash, the van might park on a drive, in a church car park or in a works yard. Let us know about the route in, and about any height barriers or narrow gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

A fish and chip van in Nash: local details
Nash is about 3 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Nash will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Nash is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Nash to London (about 11 miles away).
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Keston Parish Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. A green space like Coney Hall Recreation Ground is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Nash. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
For events in BR2, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Nash Lane and North Pole Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you.

A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there’s nothing warming on a chilly day. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is parking a problem for the van in Nash?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. By late September, sunset in Nash is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
