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.
Food truck hire for your event in Finberry
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos from the hatch and loaded nachos, and it suits leaving dos and retirements and family reunions.
In a hamlet or village like Finberry, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Comparing your options
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different while staying easy to eat. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

How we price food truck hire
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Your menu ideas

To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Finberry, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area for a queue at the hatch
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle

Finberry questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
How far is Finberry from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
Diets are planned with you in advance, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A Christmas party in Finberry with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
