FAQs for Barnsole
Is Barnsole close to London?
It is about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Barnsole?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How many guests can the truck serve?
It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Distance from houses and windows
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book

Popular choices

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
