How our film set catering works in Wilmington
Rural and period locations near Wilmington can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. For commercials and music videos and period locations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Wilmington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.8 miles north-west. Within reach of Wilmington are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (1.9 miles south-west) and Michelham Priory (3 miles north).

Wilmington is within about 2 miles of the South Downs National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
