Planning an event in Tonge Corner?
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, events in Tonge Corner stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
