Common questions in Andover Down
What’s the nearest station to Andover Down for guests?
Guests can use Andover station, about 2.6 miles west of Andover Down.
Do you come to school fairs around Andover Down?

What about power on site?

Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning

- Check how traders handle peak times
- Schedule crew meals
- Provide seating near the food
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours, made to order.
