Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.

Events we cater in Coombe
Food comes from the hatch hot, one order at a time, rather than waiting under foil.

How we price food truck hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- What’s on the menu
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Your questions about food truck hire in Coombe
Could you serve in Addington Hills?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church Hall United Reformed Church Of St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan for diets before the day, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we’ll check the access. There’s more in our space and power guide.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
