Trading Pitches & Locations


  • Where do you usually pitch up in Dorset?

Food & Sourcing


  • What kind of food do you serve?
  • High-impact, flavour-forward dishes drawing on Mediterranean, Levant, and Asian traditions—from classic Italian and Spanish profiles to bold Palestinian, Greek, Indian, and French influences.
  • Do you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
  • We always have clear vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the board. However, because all our food is prepared in a compact environment that handles nuts, we cannot guarantee a completely nut-free environment or that any dish is 100% trace-free. If you have a severe allergy, please speak to us at the hatch before ordering.
  • Where do your ingredients come from?
  • We combine top-tier local Dorset produce—fresh meats, seafood, and seasonal veg—with specialist European imports like DOP cheeses, authentic cured meats, and regional pantry goods.
  • Do you cater for dietary requirements or allergies?
  • Yes. We always offer clear vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the board. If you have specific dietary needs or severe allergies, just let us know at the hatch before ordering.


Events & Private Hire


  • Can we hire Luke’s Larder for private events or gatherings?
  • Absolutely. Alongside our daily trading pitches, we cater private parties, corporate lunches, and evening events across the region.
  • How do we get a quote for catering?
  • Drop us a message via the email button with your event date, location, estimated guest numbers, and whether you're looking for a casual street-food format or a more refined bistro-style menu. We’ll get back to you with details and pricing.
