Film set catering for your shoot in Four Marks
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are frequently asked to cater live events and broadcasts and wrap parties, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a location shoot near Four Marks, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Four Marks questions
How far is Four Marks from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Four Marks?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Four Marks?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A dining area at base helps.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Four Marks?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
