Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle
Queen's Bower is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
