Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Trader information and site rules
In Barbican Estate, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
