Horden questions
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is it possible to have you in The Gill?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
