Ewhurst questions
Do you come out to small places like Ewhurst?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Ewhurst?
Ockley station, about 4.5 miles east of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.

We serve shoots across the GU6 postcode area. Local streets include The Street, Mount Close and Broomers Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
