Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
