FAQs for Roughdown
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Roughdown?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Roughdown.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Roughdown stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Where the truck can go in Roughdown
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
