The festive takeaway comes in at a whopping 1,100 calories.

We love Christmas dinner and we love a chipper - but is combing the two a good idea?

A chipper in the UK has done just that and is currently offering the cleverly named 'Chipmas'.

The Chipmas at Marshall's Fish Bar in Devon is a traditional Christmas dinner but it's battered and deep-fried.

It includes a turkey leg, Brussels sprouts, carrots, pigs-in-blankets, stuffing, a gravy bomb and a mince pie.

Owner of the chipper, Andrew Marshall, told the Metro that he first put the Chipmas on menus last year:

"I started with just the battered Brussels sprouts, then the pigs in blankets, and then I thought why not serve an entire Christmas dinner? After some thought, we decided to launch the Chipmas dinner again because it seemed to work so well last year."

Andrew explained what a gravy bomb involves:

"We take an ice cube of gravy, surround it in mash potato, cover it in breadcrumbs and then fry it."

"We will also either deep fry the stuffing or cover it in batter and fry it. And for dessert, we will either try battered Christmas pudding or mince pies."

The meal, served in a box, comes in at just £9.95 (approx.  11.35) but it contains 1,100 calories.

On top of the three selection boxes we plan to chomp down on Christmas Day, it might prove to be too much.
