Film set catering in Bognor Regis
How our film set catering works in Bognor Regis
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for stills shoots and location filming.
In Bognor Regis, unit bases suit the van well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planning a shoot in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is in West Sussex. For a shoot in Bognor Regis, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Bognor Regis. Bognor Regis is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Bognor Regis to Brighton (about 24 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 0.5 miles south-east. Central London is about 55 miles from Bognor Regis, within easy reach for London-based crews. With the sea within about a mile, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
Shoots anywhere in PO21 and PO22 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include Station Road, London Road and Manet Square, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Bognor Regis is on the A29 and A259, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. Other places close to Bognor Regis we cover include South Bersted (1 mile north-east), Aldwick (1 mile south-west), Felpham (1 mile east), Shripney (2 miles north-east) and Lagness (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Worthing (13 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (6 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles east), Emsworth (12 miles west) and Rustington (8 miles east).

Questions to ask before booking
- How allergens are handled
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In December, daylight in Bognor Regis ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

Questions from Bognor Regis
Can you serve near the sea around Bognor Regis?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Bognor Regis?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
