- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
