Finkley Down questions
Do you come out to small places like Finkley Down?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station is closest to Finkley Down?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Finkley Down stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
