Common questions in Chapel Row

Which station is closest to Chapel Row?

Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Can the van park on the street?

Our booking checklist

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

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.

What affects the price in Chapel Row

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The length of service
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The day of the week

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

Details that help

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Where the event is
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Your date and serving time

Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
