Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park

Where the truck can go in Coombe
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
London streets around Coombe can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Christmas markets in Coombe trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has
