Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
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 Grandpont have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
