Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A level pitch on firm ground
Out-of-the-way places like Moortown take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
