How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Balls Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
