How our fish and chip van for events works in Liss Forest
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Typical bookings include church fêtes and school summer fairs, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Liss Forest, we can bring hot food to a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Information about power and water
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
