Some jobs stay with you forever.
Catering for Bastille during their world tour rehearsal at Kinetics Studio was one of those moments. It was a privilege to be invited in by the Kinetics team, create a menu for the band, and then have that menu approved by Bastille’s management before service began.
For us at Moda Food, this was more than just another catering booking. It was a chance to deliver food at a very high level, in a high-pressure environment, for an internationally recognised band preparing for a major world tour.
And we loved every minute of it.
A Menu Built for Performance
When you are feeding artists, crew, and production teams during rehearsals, everything matters.
The food has to be:
fresh
reliable
nutritious
fast to serve
flexible enough for different tastes and schedules
Over the four days, we created a menu that balanced comfort, flavour, and variety. That included:
meal boxes
Asian-inspired dishes
high-quality meat options
a full selection of sides
The aim was simple: keep everyone fuelled, happy, and ready to perform.
Starting Strong with a BBQ Service
We kicked off the event with a BBQ featuring our famous pastrami and smoked meats, all cooked fresh each day.
That opening service set the tone for the rest of the week. It gave the team something hearty and memorable, while still keeping the standard high enough for the demands of a rehearsal environment.
When people are working long hours, rehearsing, moving equipment, and staying sharp for the next stage of production, food cannot be an afterthought. It has to support the day properly. That is exactly what we focused on.
Why Rehearsal Catering Matters So Much
Most people see the final performance. What they do not always see is the amount of work that happens before it.
World tour rehearsals are intense. The pace is fast, the pressure is high, and the team needs food that works around the schedule, not against it.
That is where the right caterer makes a difference.
At Moda Food, we understand that:
timing matters
quality matters
variety matters
consistency matters
A rehearsal catering setup needs to be efficient without feeling rushed. It needs to look professional. And it needs to deliver food people actually want to eat, day after day.
Working with Kinetics Studio
Kinetics Studio was the perfect setting for this kind of project. The space itself is designed for ambitious creative work, and the energy on-site matched the scale of the occasion.
Being trusted to cater in that environment was a big moment for our team. It showed the kind of confidence clients place in us when they need food delivered at a high standard, in a demanding setting, with no room for error.
Four Days, Fresh Every Day
One of the things we are most proud of is that everything was prepared and served fresh across all four days.
That meant:
daily production
fresh menu planning
careful prep
smooth service
consistent quality
This kind of event is exactly where planning and discipline matter. It is not just about cooking good food. It is about maintaining standards throughout the entire service, from the first tray to the last plate.
A Proud Moment for Moda Food
Catering for Bastille at Kinetics Studios was a real highlight for Moda Food.
It brought together everything we care about:
creative menu design
premium ingredients
professional service
fast-paced event delivery
working with top-tier clients
Events like this remind us why we do what we do. They push us, inspire us, and give us the chance to show what Moda Food can deliver when the pressure is on.
Final Thoughts
Whether it is a world tour rehearsal, a corporate event, a festival, or a private function, the principles are always the same.
Great catering is not just about food.
It is about:
understanding the environment
reading the pace of the event
creating menus that work in real life
and delivering with professionalism every single time
We are proud to have supported Bastille and Kinetics Studio for this amazing four-day project, and we are grateful to have been part of such a memorable experience.
