How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.

In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Which station should guests use for Dibden Purlieu?
Southampton Town Quay station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater at coastal events near Dibden Purlieu?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
