Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the base location and route
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.

Common questions in Glyndebourne
Do you come out to small places like Glyndebourne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Glyndebourne?
The closest is Glynde station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
