Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Ewhurst stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
