Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Plan bins near food stalls
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
