Common questions in Elstead
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Thundry Meadows?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Elstead?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 3.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you come to Elstead?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Elstead. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Email us any allergies
At the end of service, we close the hatch and pack down and drive off quietly.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
