What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Langley Heath, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
