How our film set catering works in Pevensey Bay
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew morale days and end-of-shoot parties.
For a location shoot near Pevensey Bay, base might be in a field or farmyard. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
