How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter shoots near King's Somborne chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
