Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. A school such as Bushy Hill Junior School running a summer fair could book a taco truck.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Merrow have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
