Christmas party fish and chips for Telscombe events
Christmas party fish and chips in Telscombe, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and warehouse and depot Christmas lunches.
For a Christmas get-together near Telscombe, the van on the drive goes down well on a dark December evening. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
Why book our van in Telscombe
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Telscombe

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet

- Book as early as possible for December
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
