Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send final numbers the day before
- Name a contact in the production office
- Give us a map or what3words for base
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
About our film set catering in Poundsbridge
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and shoots on location, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Poundsbridge, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
What affects the price in Poundsbridge
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
