How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Shalcombe have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
