What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Norwood Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
