Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it is dark in Shootash at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
