Common questions in Sprat's Down
Do you come out to small places like Sprat's Down?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to school fairs around Sprat's Down?
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.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.
Can you cater in a back garden?
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 photo and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
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 Sprat's Down.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, it’s dark in Sprat's Down at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
