Common questions in Lordswood
What’s the nearest station to Lordswood for guests?
Guests can use Millbrook (Hants) station, about 2.2 miles south of Lordswood.
Could you come to a seaside event near Lordswood?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Provide seating near the food
- Check allergen information is on display
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
Crew meals are served at set times.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Late-September events in Lordswood see sunset at about 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Organisers looking at St James' Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles.

With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
