Dealing with sites is a major stress. One the reasons I recently ran a non-SCA event that was a fundraiser willingly was that it came with a site for free. We just had to pay the custodian. Huge win.
Back when there weren't usually dayboards and we all brought food (*creak*), you'd pull up a piece of floor space or chairs to eat. Someone else you knew would sit down. People usually brought too much either because they made or they bought too much. Someone would offer you their liverwurst or you'd offer your pickles and it was all very informal. It wasn't a potluck - just an "I've got more than I need of this" in a neighborly sort of way.
Mind you, the food we brought for lunch was frequently simple stuff like that - liverwurst, maybe chicken, store bought bread, pickles, apples, store bought shortbread - but it tasted better because you were sitting with people and passing it around.
