We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we don’t serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
