Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share pitch details
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
For event organisers in Drayton Parslow
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
