A fête near Ashurst might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Ashurst: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Ashurst?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Ashurst?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Ashurst is within our area. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
