Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it’s fashion shoots on location and treat days on a long shoot, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Name a contact in the production office
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.
