The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Ferring have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

More for events in Ferring
Organising for someone else?
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.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Have other stalls for special diets
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
Common questions in Ferring
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
