FAQs for The Pound
Is it possible to have you in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like The Pound?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
