Common questions in Emery Down
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Emery Down?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Will you travel to a small place like Emery Down?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How many guests can the truck serve?
Hiring the truck or trailer typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned with you in advance, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should contact us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Food truck hire or something else?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for food truck hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
