Most working on the production will be well into their night&#8217;s sleep. For the caterers, that\u2019s when the hard work starts, as on a typical studio day, that\u2019s their start time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early bird gets what exactly?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-911394fbf2d77978ea1cdbbf7cc42f3d\">\u201cA normal day would be a 4 am get-in with a view to start making the breakfast about 6.30\/7am.\u201d, says Mark, who co-owns the TV catering company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chorleybunce.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chorley Bunce<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to get people that actually want to get up at ridiculous o\u2019clock in the morning and put that hard graft in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-81a91c10dae171171a43b755a9039d98\">The company has worked on various TV shows, including Wheel of Fortune hosted by Graham Norton, Happy Valley, and It\u2019s a Sin, which aired during the 2020 lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-efaed9005b3bad4baf4642299c0906bd\">Starting work so early in the morning is certainly not a perk of the job for Mark and his workers, but some of the people the caterers meet make it all worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-673f2a7836dc91d6d4a9e69044f303ef\"><strong>\u201cI worked on a film called Fifth Element (it didn\u2019t do very well), but it featured Bruce Willis.

We also had to serve 1200 extras on boats on one set, so we had to take the food out on jet-skis and deliver it to them on boats.
