Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
