Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Abbey Wood stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
