The M275 and A2047 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Rudmore. Rudmore is roughly 64 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. The coast is within about 3 miles of Rudmore, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your crew already know
See how we price and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Confirm allergies by email
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
