Christmas party fish and chips in Ospringe
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Ospringe
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. Whether it’s PTA Christmas events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Ospringe, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Events we cater in Ospringe

What else we do in Ospringe
For event organisers in Ospringe
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan lighting near the hatch
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Ospringe
How far is Ospringe from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
