Party fish and chip van for Telham events
How our party fish and chip van works in Telham
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and big birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Near Telham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is fried fresh at your party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Telham stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

If the day starts at Chapel of the Ascension, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. Within reach of Telham are historic houses such as Durhamford Manor (2.4 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.

Questions from Telham
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Telham?
Battle station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let your neighbours know
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check the street’s parking rules
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.
