Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Settle the pitch terms early
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
