What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, it is dark in Summertown at around 7:10pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.

Summertown questions
Could you serve in Oxford University Parks?
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’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Summertown from London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It 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’ll advise.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Collect diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Count children separately
- Email us any allergies
- Tell us about coeliac guests
We keep allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can ask before ordering.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
