How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.

- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
