Telscombe questions
Which station is closest to Telscombe?
Southease station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van come to Telscombe?
We do. Telscombe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A lit spot for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Telscombe, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- 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 residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
