FAQs for Alverstone Garden Village
Which station should guests use for Alverstone Garden Village?
The closest is Sandown station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you cater in villages like Alverstone Garden Village?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How it compares
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. 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 will suggest a menu.
