Fresh fish and chips in Nashes Green
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Around midsummer it stays light in Nashes Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

About our fish and chip van hire in Nashes Green
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for fish and chip days at care homes and work Christmas parties.
For a rural spot like Nashes Green, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Nashes Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Nashes Green?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Is Nashes Green close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
