Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Upper Hardres see sunset at about 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
