The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near Sandleheath, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Ensure the van can get in
