In a rural place like Boughton Aluph, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergy details in writing
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- A spot away from neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
