The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. By late September, it is dark in Thamesmead at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day

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