How our film set catering works in Colworth
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for stills shoots and commercials and music videos.
Near Colworth, 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.

Questions from Colworth
Which station is closest to Colworth?
Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Colworth?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
