- Have a back-up for special diets

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Lighting for early or late service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
