Common questions in Hicks Forstal
Can you serve near the sea around Hicks Forstal?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you serve in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Organising for someone else?
