The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December market in Staines-upon-Thames loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- 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.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
