Film set catering in Liss, cooked to order
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it is end-of-shoot parties and fashion shoots on location, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Shoots around Liss frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Confirm numbers the day before
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

Common questions 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 work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Liss from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
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.

We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
