How our wedding fish and chip van works in Nash
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. We’re frequently asked to cater food after the first dance and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Nash have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Weddings in Nash: venues, ceremonies and travel
Nash is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Nash to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Nash to Canterbury (7 miles away).
For guests travelling by train, Adisham station, about 3.7 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Marrying at Elmstone Church? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.
Here we cover the CT3 postcode area, and we can serve your wedding anywhere in it. Neighbouring places where we serve weddings include Hoaden (1 mile north-east), Perry (1 mile west), Shatterling (1 mile south-west), Elmstone (1 mile north) and Durlock (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (7 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (10 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).
A little further out are White Mill (3.6 miles east) and St Martins Hospital (6 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Monk's Wall nature reserve.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Nash questions
We’re gathering after a service at Elmstone Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Nash too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Normally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wedding. Golden-hour photos in Nash at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare

How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Put bins near the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
