Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Angel have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
