The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Knockholt Pound see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- 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.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Trader information and site rules
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
