Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter fairs in Sutton Abinger are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
