How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in Hackney Central have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
