Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Shepherd's Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
