Fernhill for film and TV crews
Fernhill is about 2 miles south-east of Horley, in Surrey. People in Fernhill book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 20 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Gatwick Airport station, about 1 mile west, is the nearest station.
For shoots in RH6, we just need to know where the van can park. Local streets include Peeks Brook Lane and Donkey Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to shoots in Burstow (1 mile east), Shipley Bridge (1 mile south), Tinsley Green (1 mile south-west), Keeper's Corner (1 mile east) and Copthorne (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Epsom (14 miles north-west), Redhill (6 miles north), Ewell (15 miles north), Reigate (6 miles north-west), Caterham (9 miles north) and Dorking (10 miles north-west).
A little further out are County Mall (3.6 miles south-west) and Langley Green Hospital (2.9 miles south-west). Within reach you will find Hedgecourt Lake.
- Local pubs include The Shipley Bridge pub (0.5 miles south)
Organising for someone else?

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. On a winter shoot near Fernhill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
