Street Food Vendors

We’re conveniently located on the York Road Estate, Wetherby (close to the Engine Shed venue). We’re just 2 mins off the A1 and easily accessible from Leeds, Harrogate, York and further afield. You’ll find a map and directions on our find us page.

Our taproom is open every weekend (Thursday – Saturday)… please see the taproom page for up-to-date opening hours.

We ask you to be ready to serve from 4 pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and from 1 pm on Saturdays. We ask you to continue serving until 8 pm or you sell out (whichever comes first). Our busiest period for food orders is usually between 6 and 8 pm on a Friday and 4 and 7 pm on a Saturday. We will agree exact trading times with you in advance and will publish these on our social media channels.

Wetherby is an affluent area with an appetite for all types of world cuisine. Our regular customers have told us they like to visit us because our street food vendors usually offer something that’s not available elsewhere in the town.

We’ve welcomed a number of different offerings over the past few years including American, Asian, Caribbean, Italian, Mexican and South African… and a wide variety of dishes from burgers, wraps and pizzas to falafel and sushi! We try to mix up our offering so that our regular customers have something different every week.

Yes. We have seating both indoors and outdoors. We also have a sheltered outdoor area.

This will depend on both the time of year and the type/quality of your food offering. During the summer and on bank holidays you can expect around 60 – 80 covers per day (some vendors have sold up to 120 covers). In the colder months, you can expect to sell 30 – 40 covers per day. Regular vendors have informed us that their figures are constantly growing as our taproom becomes more popular.

Yes. We’d be happy for you to spend the weekend with us… providing we don’t have any other vendors pre-booked for the dates you have in mind.

Yes. So long as we’re the right venue for you (and vice versa) then we’d be happy to have you join us several times a year (we already have a number of vendors who do this). We would generally ask for a gap of a few weeks between each visit so that we can offer our customers a different cuisine every week.

Possibly. If you’ve had a cancellation (and we don’t have a prior booking with another vendor) we’d be very happy to accommodate you. 

Yes. At least one team member will be on-site prior to the taproom opening. Please let us know if you have any special requirements.

Yes. If you’re trading with us over several days you can leave your equipment on our premises overnight. You are welcome to store catering equipment inside the taproom. If leaving a gazebo/trailer etc, our courtyard is locked every evening and protected by CCTV. We cannot accept any liability for lost or damaged items (whether left indoors or outdoors) so please ensure you have a valid insurance policy in place.

Yes. We have recently upgraded our electrical system and (unlike many other venues) we can offer you a choice of a blue 16 amp hook-up or conventional 3 pin 240v domestic electricity sockets.  You will need to bring and supply your own extension cables and these must be fit for purpose and correctly rated for their intended usage. If you have any enquiries regarding our supply, please contact us to discuss your requirements (we will endeavour to accommodate you wherever possible). 

We ask you to serve your food directly from your truck/van/gazebo to the customer. We’re happy for you to use table pagers where required. Whilst we’re unable to assist with table service we will be happy to clear away boxes/wrappers and disposable cutlery etc.
