Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.

At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.

Do you cater Christmas fairs?

Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
