Shooting in Bramley: unit bases and access
Bramley is about 4 miles south-east of Tadley, in Hampshire. Bramley is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve 683 places in Hampshire. We serve events right across the region, from Bramley to Reading (about 9 miles away).
Historic houses near Bramley include The Vyne (1.9 miles south-west) and Stratfield Saye House (3.2 miles north-east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. For crew arriving by train, Bramley (Hants) station is in Bramley itself.
For shoots in RG26, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Whether your shoot is on The Street, Ellen Gardens and Ringshall Gardens or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Bramley Green (1 mile south-east), Cufaude (1 mile south), Three Ashes (1 mile north-west), West End Green (2 miles north-east) and Sherfield on Loddon (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (5 miles south), Farnborough (13 miles east), Fleet (10 miles east), Aldershot (14 miles south-east), Alton (13 miles south) and Yateley (10 miles east).

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
