Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Long Crendon
Which station is closest to Long Crendon?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Is Long Crendon close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
