Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. For location shoots and wrap parties, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear route to base
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
