How far in advance do you need access to the venue?Pizza menus: We typically need access to the venue about 2 hours before service starts. However, if there are any logistical challenges, we might request extra time to ensure everything is ready on schedule. Non-pizza menus & Party events: We usually arrive about 1h before the start of food service. We’re happy to coordinate directly with the venue to make sure everything goes smoothly.
-
What facilities do you require at a wedding venue or private property, such as a kitchen?Our set-up is quite self-sufficient! Our trailer or pop up catering is equipped with all the necessary tools a woodfire oven and gas bottles along with all the necessary equipment to cook and preserve ingredients in perfect conditions, setting us free from using any other facilities and being able to cater in remote and logistically challenging spaces.
-
Tell me about your setup, what’s needed for it to operate?Our food trailer setup is designed for versatility and accessibility as well as our pop up catering set up. All our vehicles are 4WD, allowing us to access anywhere. For our setup, we only require a straightforward 3x3 flat area with easy access and a standard power point to power a small fridge & a light. We come prepared with extensions. It is ideal to be located close to the event area.
-
How does your setup look?Pizza Menus: Our setup adds a touch of rustic charm to your event. Our trailer feature a seamlessly integrated woodfired oven that adds to the visual appeal and gets a lot of attention! For a closer look at our setup, see a photo that captures more detail. Non-pizza menu: We set up a pop up catering station, occupying around 3x3 area.

What happens if it rains?Rain won’t put a damper on your catering experience with us. We’ve got you covered, literally! We bring gazebos to shield our set-up. We do however request to be located in a dry floor area if possible (non-muddy ideally) and closer to the service area. This way your food stays delicious and dry and your event remains memorable, rain or shine!
-
When will your team arrive at the venue for setup?We will arrive at the venue 2 hours before the start of Canapes unless told otherwise. This gives us enough time to set up, turn on the woodfired oven and do all the necessary prep to serve everything on time.
-
How tall are your trailers?Our trailers vary from 2.4m to 2.7m height
-
What power generator do you need?We only need power for a small light and a fridge, we need access to a normal power point and we bring all extensions necessary.
-
Can your setup be positioned far from the main event area?While we can be flexible with placement, being close to the main event area ensures the food is served hot and fresh. If we’re positioned far from the event space, let us know in advance so we can plan for any additional logistics such as extra staff to ensure a smooth flow of food.
-
Do you need any particular waste disposal facilities?We handle our own waste and bring bins for internal use only, taking all our rubbish with us after the event. However, we don’t provide bins for guests, so please ensure there are floor bins available for customer rubbish, drinks, etc.
