How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Bloxham: sunset is about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
