The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Common until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
