Common questions in Telham
What’s the nearest station to Telham?
Battle station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Telham close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Telham, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
