Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Liss Forest? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Care home fish and chips in Liss Forest, cooked to order

Near Liss Forest, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Liss Forest, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Liss Forest questions
Is Liss Forest close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
What affects the price in Liss Forest
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or GU33 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Fit the visit around routines
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
