Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Becontree: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St George's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Becontree?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you cover Becontree?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Becontree and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
In Becontree, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Becontree
- Mexican drinks bar
- Tacos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
When service ends, we pack away and drive off quietly.
A taco-bar station can sit next to the truck.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Food truck hire or something else?
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
