Planning a shoot in Bagmore
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Wherever your shoot is in the RG25 area, we can bring the van to you. We serve all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Bagmore to Reading (about 18 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, Alton station, about 4.9 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Among the historic houses close to Bagmore are Hall Place (3 miles south) and Bentworth Hall (3.5 miles south). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Close by, we cover shoots in Southrope (1 mile east), Burkham (1 mile south-west), Shalden Green (2 miles east), Bradley (3 miles south-west) and Bentworth (3 miles south).

A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it is crew morale days and outside broadcasts, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural locations near Bagmore can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
