Poynings: your questions answered

How far is Poynings from London?

Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Which station should guests use for Poynings?

Guests can use Hassocks station, about 3.3 miles north-east of Poynings.

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?

Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Do you provide plates and napkins?

Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.

Can guests build their own tacos?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

Is there a vegan option at your stall?

Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.

  • A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
  • Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
  • Your trader pack and site rules

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
