What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Waddon: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
