Rose Hill questions
Do you come out to small places like Rose Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Rose Hill?
Taplow station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
