Common questions in Marchwood
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station is closest to Marchwood?
Guests can use Millbrook (Hants) station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Marchwood.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Marchwood 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.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
