A chip van near Ferring
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Ferring get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

How our party fish and chip van works in Ferring
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater get-togethers with old friends and children’s parties.
In a place like Ferring, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we will bring everything else. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
