How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. By late September, it’s dark in Chartham Hatch at around 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Here are some of the events we cater:

- Space, access, power and water needs
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- If the price includes VAT
