Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Autumn and winter parties in Ospringe get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Ospringe parties: what to know
Ospringe is about 1 mile south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the ME13 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Ospringe is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
A green space like Oare Meadow is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards.
Wherever your party is in ME13, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Water Lane, Lower Road and Capel Road, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Whitehill (1 mile south), Faversham (1 mile north-east), Davington (1 mile north-east), Brogdale (1 mile south) and Preston (1 mile east). Further out, we also take the van to Maidstone (15 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles north-east) and Herne Bay (12 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Newnham Castle (3.5 miles south-west).
- Schools near Ospringe include The Abbey School (0.6 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find Maison Dieu pub (within half a mile north-east)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Common questions in Ospringe
Can the van park in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Ospringe close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
