How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Three Ashes lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- 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 arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
