  1. Try in your local industrial estate. There are always folk who forget/can't be bothered to bring a packed lunch/dinner. The guy in the trailer near where my husband works makes a fortune - not to mention great bacon butties-as well as other more substantial stuff. As the factories work 6 days out of 7 , he makes a regular living too.


  2. I don't know anything about the law but we have a coffee van that regularly turns up at school events (Sports day, fete, christmas performance etc) Really appreciated by us mums and dads!!!

  3. When you get your licence to trade you will need to contact the organisers of the car boot sale for permission to pitch. I did ask on sunday morning at a local boot sale (a big one) how much the catering van paid in rent for his 6 hour pitch and it was £80. I think there is a limit as to how many trailers are allowed at these venues. Don't forget you will need public liability insurance in case your gas cannisters blow up or you serve a dodgy beefburger.
