Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
