Oval is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Add coleslaw.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Oval have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
