The Mangy Mongol

Overview

The Mangy Mongol (The Mong for short) is the coffee house which operates at Canterbury Faire.

It is a private venture and is not part of the official event, but it's setup and location are important to take into account when planning the site layout.

The current proprietors are Lady Anne and Lady Hildr.

The Mong is a space where many people sit to watch tournaments and hide from the sun.

Location and Layout

The Mong is based around the Redwood Shelter on the side of the main field.

The current layout incorporates the shelter and uses a 12mx6m sunshade and two 4.5m diameter yurts.

The power within the shelter is used for lighting, running a fridge, running a hot water urn, and sometimes running other appliances. The circuit breaker for the shelter is located at the bottom of the main stairs.

The water source on the side of the shelter is used for the activities performed behind the bar. The water source between the shelter and the field is kept available for public use and is under the sunshade.

Stewarding Team Support

The Mong is an independent entity and does not require much support from the stewarding team.

Checking in with the proprietors when deciding on the layout of the main field is recommended, especially if there are significant changes planned.

The Mong has a significant amount of equipment stored in the on-site container. When using the site truck to transport equipment from the container to the main field it is recommended that a representative from The Mong is present to identify items that need to be loaded into the truck.

Assistance during erection of the sunshade is needed from the Ordinance Corps.
