FAQs for Southford
Could you come to a seaside event near Southford?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come out to small places like Southford?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater in a back garden?
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.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A summer drinks reception in Southford has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, ideal for drinks outdoors. In late September it is dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
- What’s on the menu
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access to unload close to the bar spot
For somewhere as remote as Southford, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
