Fairs, fêtes and events in Charter Alley
Charter Alley is about 3 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire.

If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as The Priory Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Running a fête for a church like Christ Church? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in.
This part of Hampshire takes in RG26, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Old Chapel Lane, Sand Martin Close and White Hart Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Ramsdell (1 mile west), West Heath (1 mile north-west), Pamber End (1 mile north-east), Monk Sherborne (1 mile south-east) and Salters Heath (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (4 miles south-east), Fleet (14 miles east), Alton (14 miles south-east), Yateley (14 miles east), Tadley (3 miles north) and Hook (8 miles east).

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Working with your venue
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.
