Common questions in Binfield Heath
Is Binfield Heath close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Binfield Heath?
Shiplake station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you come to Binfield Heath?
We do. Binfield Heath is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
