Can the van park in Marble Hill Park?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
- Flag any coeliac crew
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Eel Pie Island: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
