What are the pricing and minimum spend requirements for film and photo bookings?
Specific pricing for film and photo shoots is not standardized and requires individual enquiry based on your specific needs and requirements. The venue requests that you contact them directly with your project details so they can provide tailored pricing and determine how they can best accommodate your filming requirements.
What time slots are available for filming and photography sessions?
Operating hours and available filming times are not specified in the standard information. Since this is an active 144-seater restaurant, filming availability will likely depend on restaurant operating schedules and may require coordination around service times. You'll need to enquire directly about available time slots for your specific shoot dates.
What technical amenities are provided for film and photo shoots?
The venue provides complimentary WiFi for your filming needs. Additional technical requirements such as lighting equipment, power access, or audio equipment availability are not specified. You should enquire directly about specific technical needs and whether additional equipment rental or setup fees apply.
Can food and catering be arranged during filming sessions?
The venue offers tailored group menus that can enhance your filming experience, particularly useful for food photography or dining scene shoots. As an active restaurant specializing in wood-fired pizza, ragu and vermouth, they can likely provide authentic food styling and preparation. Specific catering arrangements and costs for film shoots should be discussed during your enquiry.
What is the booking process and lead time required for film and photo shoots?
The venue requires you to enquire with your specific needs so they can assess how to best accommodate your requirements. There is no standard booking process outlined, suggesting each film and photo booking is handled individually. Lead times and booking procedures will need to be confirmed directly with the venue based on your project scope and dates.
Are there any restrictions on filming activities or equipment in the space?
While the venue states they accommodate filming in all their restaurants, specific restrictions on equipment, crew size, or filming activities are not detailed. Given it's an active restaurant space, there may be limitations during service hours or restrictions on equipment placement near the open kitchen and wood-fired oven. All restrictions and guidelines should be clarified during your initial enquiry.
What outdoor filming options are available at the venue?
The venue includes a patio area that provides an outdoor setting ideal for al fresco shots and exterior filming. This outdoor space complements the indoor restaurant setting and offers additional versatility for your shoot. Specific details about the patio size, setup options, and any weather contingency plans should be confirmed when booking.
How does the venue handle coordination between filming activities and regular restaurant operations?
As an active 144-seater restaurant, filming coordination with regular service operations will be essential but specific procedures are not outlined. The venue's willingness to accommodate filming suggests they have experience managing both activities, but scheduling, access restrictions during service hours, and operational coordination details must be discussed during your enquiry to ensure smooth execution of your shoot.
