Wedding fish and chip van in Liss, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For pre-wedding get-togethers and coastal-themed receptions, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
A farm or garden wedding near Liss suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Count suppliers working late
- Put bins near the van
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Liss: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Liss?
Liss has its own station: Liss station.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Liss, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
