How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Upper Woolhampton: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
