Which station is closest to Nettlestead?

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we’re available.

How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December market in Nettlestead loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
