Taste of home for Narnia: Dawn Treader crew
October 19th, 2009 by Paul MartinBig things are coming soon, but this is not part of that, just so you know. You’ll know it when you see it! Anyway, here’s the news.
PLAYING a cast of characters who routinely slip out of England and into the magical world of Narnia should make the British actors who recently finished filming at Cleveland Point accustomed to being away from home.
But they were delighted in the final days of filming to receive a care package from Birkdale couple Louise and Adrian Warner, who run Britain on the Bayside.
Louise took her two sons, Charlie, 8, and Thomas, 5, down to the set with the hamper of goodies, which they handed over to one of Narnia’s fawns.
“I’d been taking the kids down to the set fairly often to see it being built, and when we heard nearly all the cast and a lot of the crew were British, and that they still had filming to finish on the Gold Coast and in New Zealand, we thought they’d appreciate a few treats from home,” Louise said.
“We’ve since heard back that all the cast were thrilled with the hamper, and we referred a few of the directors and producers to The Vine bottle shop next to our store, because they import a whole range of British beers which we heard they were pining for.”
Louise said the hamper included some of their most popular items: Crisps, not chips; a soft drink called Vimto; British Cadbury’s chocolate, which has fewer emulsifiers than Australian Cadbury’s because of the cooler climate; Minstrels, a larger, non-coloured version of M&Ms; Crawfords custard creams and bourbon creams biscuits; and Party Ring biscuits, which are often worn on the fingers of children at birthday parties.

Haha, that is awesome. I bet all that really made them feel welcome.
How nice of them
-I am looking forward to this BIG thing that is coming
I didn’t realise all those things were so British! Though I do love them all – I’m sure the cast and crew did too.
Very nice gesture. Glad they liked the goodies from home.
Oh! How sweet! Being American I have no idea what those things are.
I’m sure though if Britains love them then I probably would too, considering I think of myself as British (even though I’m not) 
i’m glad the cast & crew loved the basket of goodies
i’ve always been curious about foods from great britian 
all those foods sound differnt & intresting
Awesome! I’m glad that people care about people who make narnia real to us!
