Newington Butts questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What’s the nearest station to Newington Butts for guests?
Newington Butts has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Which areas do you serve?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
