Munstead Heath: your questions answered
Is Munstead Heath close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Where does the van go on location?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
About our film set catering in Munstead Heath
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. For wrap parties and location filming, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Munstead Heath, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Space in front of the hatch

Crew catering near Munstead Heath
Munstead Heath is about 5 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Munstead Heath is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Munstead Heath is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
Nearby historic houses include Loseley Park (3 miles north) and Chilworth Manor (4.3 miles north-east). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Munstead Heath is roughly 31 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Munstead Heath, so check vehicle rules with locations.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
