How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Wickhambreaux: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
