For engagements and anniversaries and company away days, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Butcher's Cross, food truck hire needs a little planning: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Flag any coeliac guests
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests.
