- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share pitch details
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter fairs in Kencot are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
