Two-Day Television Commercial, Somerset

A two-day television commercial for a confidential client, shot on a working high street in Somerset. Eighty crew on the first day and seventy-seven on the second, fed from a unit base a minute or two off set. Salt Wind Catering travelled up from Cornwall fully self-contained and stayed over both nights, with the kitchen coming and going with the team rather than sitting on the pitch. Hot breakfast ran from the 06:00 call — self-serve, baps always out, so anyone tight for time could take one and go — then a mid-morning craft table, hot lunch cooked on location, an afternoon break, and hot and cold drinks standing from pre-call through to wrap. Six separate dietary requirements were catered on the line, among them a coeliac-style intolerance list and a non-airborne nut, fish, sesame and kiwi allergy.
