FAQs for Hither Green
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Manor House Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in Hither Green?
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.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Share power and water details early
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.

Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
