What’s near Ferring
Locally, our bookings take us close to Chatsmore Catholic High School, St Andrew's Church and Ferring CofE Primary School and the streets around them. Ferring’s nearest station is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Rustington Museum (2.4 miles west) and Old Castle (2.6 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Highdown Hill.
Planning a chip van in BN12
Across BN12, we serve 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Worthing, Durrington and East Preston to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Around 6 places in BN12 are close to the coast, where we always think about shelter for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.
Ferring: 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. Within reach of Ferring are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (1.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Light matters for evening service: around Ferring, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The cancellation terms
- Allergen information for each item
- The van’s size and access needs
Occasions we serve in BN12
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
Whatever the occasion in BN12, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Birthday celebrations
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Company team days
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in BN12
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
