- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Locksbottom have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Your trader pack and site rules
In Locksbottom, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Locksbottom is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Locksbottom to London (about 11 miles away).
