About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there

Can you serve near the sea around Ferring?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Plan bins near the queue
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tell people when the van opens.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can 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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
