Planning for dietary needs

- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In late May, sunset in Seven Dials is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
