Havenstreet questions

Could you come to a seaside event near Havenstreet?

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

What’s the nearest station to Havenstreet for guests?

Guests can use Smallbrook Junction station, about 2.2 miles east of Havenstreet.

How is the food prepared?

Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

Are plates and napkins included?

We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.

How much is a food truck for an event?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

Who handles the licensing?

That depends on your venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We will talk licensing through with you.

Do you serve responsibly?

Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, and we offer water and alcohol-free choices throughout.

  • Licensing checked with you before the day
  • The venue’s permission for an outside bar
  • Firm, level ground where we can set up

Havenstreet is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A summer drinks reception in Havenstreet has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. By late September, sunset is about 7:10pm, and in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting around the bar.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
  5. We clear the bar at the end.

Planning drinks for every guest

A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:

DIY taco night versus a caterer

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
