Newtown: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Newtown close to London?
It’s about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
