Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Medmenham
How far is Medmenham from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Medmenham?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 2.9 miles south-west of the centre.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. On a winter shoot near Medmenham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree how the base is left
- Name a contact in the production office
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send the unit base address and directions
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
- Room for the crew to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
