DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Perfect for your shoot in Lightwater
It’s self-contained.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
