In a rural spot like Standen, drinks can be served from our food truck or trailer in a garden, field or by a marquee, as long as we can get in. Licensing for alcohol is checked with you beforehand.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In December, the light goes in Standen at about 3:50pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:15pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We agree where the bar goes.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Where the truck can go in Standen
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Licensing checked with you before the day
- A bar spot away from homes
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
