FAQ

The questions we get every week.

If yours isn't here, email us. No question about parking a candy truck is too strange.

Booking & pricing

How much does it cost?

It comes down to three things: how many guests, how long we're parked, and how far we drive. Send the booking form and you'll get a real number rather than a range, usually within two business days.

How far ahead should I book?

Weddings and summer weekends fill early, so three to six months out is comfortable. For most other events a few weeks is plenty. If your date is close, ask anyway, plans change and gaps open up.

What holds my date?

A signed agreement and a deposit. Until both are in, the date stays open to whoever asks next, which we mention only so nobody is disappointed.

What happens if it rains?

We serve from the open sides of the truck bed, so we bring cover (a tent or umbrellas) or set up under a covered area if your venue has one. Ordinary weather is no trouble at all. For anything genuinely unsafe we'll sort out a reschedule with you.

Can you invoice a company?

Happily. We can bill against a purchase order and supply a W-9, a certificate of insurance, and whatever else your procurement team needs to be satisfied.

Space, power & travel

How much room does the truck need?

About one parking space and a clear path to reach it. Being a kei truck, it slips into spots a full-size food truck can only dream about: narrow driveways, service gates, courtyards. Send a photo of the spot and we'll tell you straight away.

Can you set up indoors?

No, we're an outdoor setup. The truck is around five feet wide and six feet tall, which gets us into spots a full-size food truck can't dream of, but not through a doorway. If your event is indoors we'll park as close to the entrance as your venue allows.

Do you need power?

Not a watt. We run fully self-contained, so we can park on grass, gravel or pavement without a single cable to run.

How far do you travel?

For now, about an hour outside of Chester, NH. Sweetie has a tiny engine and we drive her the entire way! That gets us to most of NH and Northern MA. But ask away, we may be able to find a way of getting the truck to you!

How long does setup take?

We arrive well before your start time and need under an hour. Packing down is quicker still, and we leave the spot tidier than we found it.

On board

What's actually on board?

Fifteen international varieties: Japanese gummies, Scandinavian licorice, Mexican tamarind, Turkish lokum, and a rotating cast of things we found abroad and couldn't talk ourselves out of. The lineup gets tuned to your guests before every event.

How is the candy packaged?

Everything is bagged by hand at our own kitchen, approved under New Hampshire's cottage food rules with Massachusetts approval in progress, in 2โ€“3 oz taster bags, a small bundle of one sweet per bag. Every guest gets three, over a third of a pound of candy in all, so nothing is loose, nothing is shared, and trying three things costs no more than trying one.

Can you work around allergies?

Yes. Tell us what to avoid and we'll build the lineup around it and keep flagged items off the truck entirely if you'd rather. Every taster bag is labelled with what's inside it, so guests can check for themselves before they commit.

How much does each guest get?

Every guest gets three taster bags, or four with the upgrade, which brings it to a full half pound each. We size the stock to your headcount so the last guest through the queue has as much to choose from as the first one did.

Can we match a theme or a country?

One of our favourite briefs. A single country, a palette that matches your flowers, or a lineup pulled from wherever you're going on honeymoon: all doable with a bit of notice.

Still wondering

Ask us the odd one.

Strange venue, tight access, unusual timing? Chances are we've worked around it before.
