Shooting in Temple: unit bases and access
Temple is about 2 miles south of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. For a shoot in Temple, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Temple. Temple is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Temple to Reading (11 miles away).
Temple is about 30 miles from central London. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east, is the nearest station.
For shoots in SL7, we just need to know where the van can park. That could mean a shoot at a home on Temple Lane, Bradenham Lane and Temple Mill Island, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include Bisham (1 mile north-east), Marlow (2 miles north), Stubbings (2 miles south), Cookham Dean (2 miles east) and Burchett's Green (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include High Wycombe (6 miles north), Chesham (13 miles north-east), Amersham (12 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (7 miles north-east), Chalfont St Peter (11 miles east) and Princes Risborough (12 miles north).

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why Temple hosts choose us

Common questions in Temple
Is Temple close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Is Temple too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Perfect for your shoot in Temple
Service is quick from the hatch with a short menu.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Crew lunches at base
- Music video shoots
- Fashion shoots on location
- Wrap parties
Nearby historic houses include Harleyford Manor (0.9 miles west) and Greenlands (4.1 miles west). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Before booking anyone
- When final numbers are due
- The van’s size and access needs
- How many hours the van serves
- When payment is due
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Temple is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What affects the price in Temple
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Temple
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
