What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips

Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is parking a problem for the van in Berry's Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.

Normally, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

The process

On a winter shoot near Berry's Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
