How our party fish and chip van works in Nashes Green
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and kids’ birthday parties, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Nashes Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Nashes Green
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you bring everything you need?

How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
