The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, events in East Hendred stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
