Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. We serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits company summer parties and retirement and leaving parties.
For a rural spot like Whippingham, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day.
