Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your shoot. On a winter shoot near Harrow Weald, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
