About our fish and chip van hire in Liss

There may be a hall or club near Liss if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Other occasions in Liss
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us how many children are coming
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
