Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Chinnor
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Chinnor close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where does the van go on location?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
