FAQs for Cross-at-Hand
Is Cross-at-Hand close to London?
It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.

Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.

By late September, sunset is about 7:00pm, and in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting around the bar.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- We talk through licensing with you, whether that’s the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
- We suggest a drinks list and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up and serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day
