Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Ockford Ridge, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
