Introduction
Childhood memories of a trip
to the fair always trigger thoughts of toffee apples and candy floss along with
the recollections of the noise made by the doors opening as the ghost rain exits
the scary tunnel. No day out to an event would be complete without the
fascinating experience of watching the sweet seller make candy floss appear on a
wooden stick by circling it around a metal bowl as by magic. The sensation of
candy floss crystallising back to sticky, chewy sugar in your mouth is one to be
tried by everyone of all ages.

Making the best use of
An
absolute must for any outdoor event or show has to be mobile sweets sellers
selling delicious traditional homemade butter fudge and toffee served by the
kilo or freshly prepared candy floss, warm popcorn and traditional fairground
toffee apples. Specialist sweet sellers also make a great addition for private
functions such as themed weddings or children's parties and are ideal for
corporate and business promotional events. |

How many do I need?
Determining how many specialist sweet sellers to book for your event depends
largely upon the amount of people you anticipate to attend. An important point
to remember is that sweets, candy floss, toffee apples etc are often purchased
as treats and not as mainstream refreshments such as burgers, hot dogs etc. So
for example where you would typically book five mobile caterers you would
probably only require one or two sweet stalls. |

Booking suggestions
It is
always advisable to book key event services such as sweet sellers as early as
possible (several months prior to the event) to avoid last minute
disappointments. Pitch fees. Organisers of very small events and
functions may have to pay the sweet seller expenses, medium sized event pitch
fees are charged by either a fixed rate or percentage of sales and larger events
will often tender out catering concessions to include sweet sellers and stalls. |

Regulations, insurance and other useful notes
Food safety. Every sweet seller is required by law to be registered with
their own local council food hygiene and food safety department and be able to
provide you with evidence of when the sweet stall or unit was last inspected.
Insurance. Public liability insurance cover is also a legal requirement that
must be in place and evidence of cover provided if requested. |
