Rachel Stainton from Boss Burrito in Hull’s Trinity Market calls for patience.
“It is hot, it is busy, so try not to get cranky if we take a little bit longer than normal, but generally we’re working at the same speed.
“We might just stop to have more water than normal.”
As she chats to me, building birria burritos, I can feel the heat from the grills that are permanently on. But Ms Stainton still manages to stay positive.
“It’s not too bad. We’ve got the doors open. There’s a nice breeze,” she smiles. “It’s warm whatever the weather in a kitchen.”
“I’m a summer person. I hate the winter. Bring on the heatwave.”
Temperatures are expected to cool to about 20C next week, but, until then, it’s doors open, extractor fans on, and snatched breaths of fresh air for the workers cooking through this latest scorching spell.
