How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Tangmere close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Tangmere? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How it compares
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Tangmere
Is Tangmere close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
