Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Cobham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- 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
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
