Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Goring-by-Sea
Can you serve near the sea around Goring-by-Sea?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Close to the garden or entrance
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
