Step by step

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. By late September, it’s dark in Gurnard at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.

FAQs for Gurnard

Can you trade at a school fair in Gurnard?

We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.

Could you come to a seaside event near Gurnard?

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

Who clears up?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Can vegans eat at your stall?

We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.

Do you need electricity?

Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

How big an event can you cater?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

What do you need at the venue?

The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.

Can we book you as a trader?

Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.

Planning the serving area

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:

Firm, level ground or hardstanding
Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue

Gurnard is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I do it myself?

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
