Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal isn’t offered
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Ardley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
