What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer shoots near Wokingham have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
