The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In South Merstham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
