Common questions in Burley
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?

Which station should guests use for Burley?
Guests can use Sway station, about 5 miles south-east of Burley.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

Can you serve alcohol at our event?

Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
What’s on the menu?

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December market in Burley loses the light at about 4:05pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
