Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot in Nuthurst. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Nuthurst: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
