For event organisers in Whitsbury
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Schedule crew meals
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
