Insta vs Reality ☕️
We all love a good shot for the grid. But as a small biz on the road, things aren’t always as smooth as they look. Here’s a peek behind the scenes 👇
1. The shoot day.
Looks cosy, right? Woolly hats, jumpers, hot coffees in hand. Truth is, it was roasting. There wasn’t a drop in those cups.
2. Our first film set.
Helicopters, Tower Bridge, coffee cups and smiles. Behind the lens? Hottest day of the year - forty degrees in the van. Didn't eat. Non-stop all day. Had a cry in Itsu after and a stranger handed me a bottle of water (and chocolate). Also cried on the 4 hour journey home because I was so exhausted.
3. The race day.
Sun shining over Newbury. Four coffee vans, one crowd. We all thought we’d be the only coffee van. Spoiler: no one made much 💰that day.
So yeah - Insta’s great. But the reality’s where the real stories live.
