The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For a late-May party in Nash, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Nash
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Nash?
Adisham station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to Nash?
We do. We serve events in Nash and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A picture of the parking spot helps
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
