For event organisers in Gawcott
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What the van needs

- Permission for the van at base
- Level, firm ground at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Gawcott
Is Gawcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Gawcott from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Gawcott is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
