Common questions in East Shefford
Do you cater in villages like East Shefford?
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.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in East Shefford?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable, especially in the evening. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff and alcohol-free choices. We will talk through licensing first.
What space does the truck need?
A firm, level spot, a way in that fits the vehicle, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Where the truck can go in East Shefford
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
