Questions from Blackgang
Do you cater in villages like Blackgang?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Blackgang?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Summer events in Blackgang have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
