The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Steyning stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
