Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
