DIY versus a fish and chip van

Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Liss
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Typical bookings include lunch for the care team and birthday treats for residents, serving pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
For a care home in a place like Liss, a chip van visit is a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Liss is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Ensure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Liss
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Liss close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
