A one-day television commercial for Charlie Bigham’s, produced by Academy Films, shot in Cadgwith Cove on the Lizard. Fifty crew, and no vehicle access to the location — the unit parked at the top of the hill and walked down to the cove. Salt Wind Catering pitched a self-contained mobile kitchen in a field above the village, on site from 05:30, and hot-boxed every service down to the crew so nobody had to climb back up for a meal. The production asked for a food truck; what the job actually needed was a kitchen that could work where a truck cannot go.
How The Day Ran
Taken straight off the call sheet.
- 05:30
On the pitch. A field at the top of the village — the only ground near the cove that takes a kitchen.
- 07:30
Main unit call. Breakfast rolls carried down to set, with the tea table alongside — coffee and hot water flasks, running from arrival.
- 12:15
Hot lunch, boxed at the top and brought down to the cove so the crew never left the location.
- 17:00
Afternoon tea, brought down the same way.
Fed every service: 50 crew.
