Will you travel to a small place like Harbledown?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Whitehall Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
