Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer fêtes in Spurlands End have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
