Drayton: your questions answered
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Drayton?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you cater in villages like Drayton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Where can the truck park?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
How much does food truck hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Send your details and you will get a quote. See the Mexican catering cost guide for background.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Email us any allergies
- Ask about parking rules if we will be on a road
- Share your running order
- Flag any coeliac guests
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about evening food later on.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
