Near Twyford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access checked by locations
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Update numbers if they change
- Flag any coeliac crew
Used oil leaves with the van.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
