Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree when volunteers will eat
When the event closes, we pack up.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Information about power and water
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
