FAQs for Underriver
Can you trade at a school fair in Underriver?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Knole Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

At a fête or field event near Underriver, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.

- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
