For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Shooting in Ham: unit bases and access
Ham is about 1 mile south-east of Twickenham, in Greater London. Anywhere in TW10, we can bring the van to you. Ham is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 10 miles away.
Historic houses near Ham include Ham House (0.6 miles north) and Pembroke Lodge (0.8 miles north-east). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For crew arriving by train, Teddington station, about 1.2 miles south-west, is the nearest station.
We cover shoots in every part of TW10, KT2 and TW11 and the streets around it. Local streets include New Road, Lock Road and Cave Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Main roads around Ham include the A307, which makes travel to your shoot easy. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Petersham (1 mile north), Eel Pie Island (1 mile north-west), Strawberry Hill (1 mile west), Teddington (1 mile south-west) and Richmond (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles north-east), City of Westminster (9 miles north-east), Marylebone (9 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles north-east), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Teddington Memorial Hospital (1.5 miles south-west) and Coombe (2.2 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Kew Gardens Lake and Richmond Hill.
- Nearby schools include Grey Court School (under half a mile north) and Teddington School (0.9 miles south)
- Local pubs include The New Inn Public House (within half a mile east)
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Access checked by locations
As a London location, Ham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Ham

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why Ham hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Bookings across Greater London, including Ham
- No surprises in your quote

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. Sunset in Ham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
