What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evening events in Barnsbury have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
Barnsbury is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Our food is made to order. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
