This a site plan shows various elements of a typical Veggies Catering pitch.
Remember though that Veggies is very flexible. We have over 37 years of experience, setting up in all kinds of locations; indoors or outdoors; with full facilities provided or none.
This particular configuration fits in a 10m x 10m space, with possible additional parking required for the Ford Transit van (NG55WKR) for towing & stock storage. The van measures 6.5m x 2m x 2.7m high.
For some events we may also require camping space for the crew and possibly parking for a small transit minibus.

Reclaim the Power!
Whilst we are cooking with gas, we are working to reduce the impact by having installing solar power to the catering unit.
This is used for low energy LED lighting, 12v water pump, point-of-sale devices, phone charging and some supplementary cooking, etc.
We have a GoFundMe fundraiser with more details, and to raise more funds to extend its capacity and further reduce our dependence on Calor gas.

Stop press – the return of the original Veggies Catering Trailer from Clinton Street, Nottingham 1986 – 2002 and now at Sneinton Vegan Market & other local events.
Known as the ‘Monkey Trailer’, it measures just 2.4m x 1.6m – ideal for tight spaces and can be towed by any driver with any vehicle.
Another blast from the past, now returned from it’s residency in Manchester as ‘Something Fishy‘, this trailer measures 3.8m x 2m and is intended to be refitted to be loaned out to other fundraising & campaign groups.
