Durley Street: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Durley Street?

What’s the price?

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Chicken widens the choice.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO32 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
