Party fish and chip van for your party in Liss Forest

Liss Forest: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Liss Forest?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Liss Forest?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Liss Forest.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you cover Liss Forest?
We do. We serve events in Liss Forest and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A summer party in Liss Forest stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
