Fish and chip van hire for your event in Osney
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are often booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and fish and chip days at care homes.
In and around Osney, homes and village halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Other occasions in Osney
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- 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
