For event organisers in Newtown Common

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A December market in Newtown Common loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.

- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
