Book the van in Warbleton
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Warbleton: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
