Fresh fish and chips in Ospringe
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Ospringe, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
