Derringstone: your questions answered
How far is Derringstone from central London?
It is about 58 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Jumping Downs?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Christmas markets in Derringstone trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check allergen information is on display
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
