Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
