- Lunch at the unit base
A chip van near Quelm Park
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. On a winter shoot near Quelm Park, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
