Corporate leads, wedding fairs, Christmas pitches and council tenders in your region, checked and sorted with the fee, the deadline and what to do next. Plus reviews from traders who've already worked the event.
Free every month. Full digest from £19.
On the 1st of each month you'll get the five best opportunities from your region's digest by email. No card needed. Unsubscribe any time.
Midlands issues are live now. Other regions start as they open, and you'll be first to know.
Most of the pages we check are out of date, closed, or still showing last year's dates. Finding the ones that are open, with a fee you can plan around, is the slow part. Then there's what search can't tell you at all.
Every item is opened and confirmed: this season's dates, whether applications are open, the fee, the deadline. You get the ones worth acting on, not a list of links.
After trading an event, members rate it: footfall, takings compared with the pitch fee, and whether they'd go back. Know if it's worth it before you pay, not after.
A message the day applications open and a week before they close. Many good pitches go to whoever applies first.
When our catering network gets a corporate or wedding enquiry it can't take, because of the date, the area, the cuisine or the numbers, members in that region hear about it first.
Our catering network turns down corporate and wedding enquiries every month because of the date, the distance, the cuisine or the numbers. Instead of saying no, we pass them to members in that region.
We only share details when the client has said yes to being put in touch with another trader.
Date, area, guest numbers, budget and the food they want. No contact details yet.
One trader per enquiry, so the client isn't chased by five people. You then deal with the client directly.
A food hygiene rating of 5, public liability insurance, and an active Member plan.
Each plan includes one regional brief. Extra regions can be added as they open.
Highlighted: live now. Others open in waves, starting with the North West and Yorkshire.

I'm Nick. I run a street food catering business in the Midlands and have done over 300 events, from markets to weddings to corporate lunches. I've been shifting my business towards private and corporate work, and the templates in this membership are the ones I use.
Before street food I worked in hospitality management and fine dining front of house. Other traders kept asking how I find corporate jobs, so now every member gets the same list I work from.
You can, and some traders do. The October Midlands issue took over 100 page checks, because most listings are closed, full or still showing last year's dates. Members pay to get that day back. The event reviews and overflow enquiries aren't available anywhere else.
Digest is the full regional list with alerts. Member adds event reviews from other traders, first refusal on overflow enquiries from our catering network, the toolkit and the monthly call.
After trading an event, members fill in a two-minute form: footfall, takings compared with the pitch fee, how the organiser was, and whether they'd go back. Reviews are shared with members only and never show your exact takings.
Yes. Planners book on menu, price and how quickly you reply, and the toolkit helps you on all three.
When our catering network can't take an enquiry, and the client agrees to be put in touch with another trader, members in that region get an alert. The first suitable member to reply within 24 hours gets the introduction. Members need a hygiene rating of 5 and public liability insurance.
Anytime, from your account page, which you get when you join. Monthly members keep access until the end of the month they've paid for. Founding members who cancel lose the founding price.
