If you had Durrington Minature Railway in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

FAQs for Goring-by-Sea
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Goring-by-Sea?
Goring-By-Sea station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
