Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree when volunteers will eat
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 generally simpler.
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.
