Party fish and chip van in Liss
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. In Liss, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Liss
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Liss?
Liss station, in Liss itself.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
