We know that your guests will have paid a pretty penny for their ball ticket, and that they expect to eat and drink delicious produce until the cows come home. We’ve got a great range of mobile bars, serving up anything and everything from artisanal gin and tonics from Jim & Tonic, to exotic cocktails from The Rum Runner. When it comes to the food, you can pick from hundreds of traders, including outrageous gastronomic hot dogs from Harley Dogs, the cheesiest of toasties from Grill My Cheese, chocolatey churros from Los Churros Amigos, wood-fired pizza from Dough & Deer and more!

  • The cost can vary a lot due to how many tickets you are selling and the types of food and drink traders you have chosen. Once you have made an enquiry online, we can give you a clearer idea of the cost in the form of a quote. Even though we provide a curated service, the price will not increase.

  • Our caterers and mobile bars will bring everything they need with them to your ball. This includes their vehicle, stall or gazebo, their produce, their equipment, and the containers that their food or drink comes in. If there are more specific things that you want, such as cups with an image of your college’s coat of arms on them, you might have to provide them yourself! Just ask our traders on our online chat system and they can tell you what’s what.

  • Yes, absolutely. We have a great number of traders that cater for dairy free, gluten free, halal, kosher, vegetarian and vegan requirements. When you enquire online, let us know which of the above you need accounted for and we will find the suitable traders for you.

  • Yes! The majority of our traders are more than happy to do half portions for your guests. We understand that the students attending a May Ball want to try out as much of the food and drink as they can, so this can be easily organised.

  • Yes! Our street food caterers and mobile bars are happy to be placed outdoors almost anywhere. The size of the outdoor area that they have will dictate whether they bring a van, gazebo or market stall. Many of our traders can also serve their food and drink indoors, so just mention how many you’d like to set up inside your college when you enquire online.

  • Our food caterers and mobile bars are total experts at getting their produce our super speedily, so you can be rest assured that your guests will not have to queue for ages to get their hands on a burger or a waffle.
