How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A summer party in Eling stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

If guests are coming by rail, Totton station is in Eling itself. Once the service at a church like Church of St Mary is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Eling, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 4 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
