If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Allergen information is available at the hatch.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. For an evening event in Childrey, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Questions from Childrey
Is Childrey close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in villages like Childrey?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
