What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer events in Haslingbourne have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
