Other catering in Rookley Green
Should I do it myself?
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Common questions in Rookley Green
Do you cater in villages like Rookley Green?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Rookley Green?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. 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.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Flat, firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
Out-of-the-way places like Rookley Green take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
