Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, daylight in Hook ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
