The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Henhurst have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
