Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. At midsummer, it stays light in Emmbrook until about 9:25pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

FAQs for Emmbrook
We’re having a ceremony at Woosehill Community Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is Emmbrook close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How many guests can the truck serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests.
How much does food truck hire cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as every booking is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We agree access and timings with the venue.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, a filling, salsa and guacamole.
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Give us separate numbers for children
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
Food truck hire or something else?
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
