How our film set catering works in West Wittering
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap celebrations and shoots on location.
Near West Wittering, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
