Common questions in Bow Common
What’s the nearest station to Bow Common for guests?
Guests can use Limehouse station, about 0.8 miles south-west of Bow Common.
Could you serve in Bartlett Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
How it compares
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
