FAQs for Chiddingfold
Is Chiddingfold close to London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Chiddingfold?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
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 service around it.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
Do you cover Chiddingfold?
We do. Chiddingfold is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
