- Let us know who is coeliac

How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Late-September events in Finkley Down see sunset at about 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, open the hatch and cook to order for your guests.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Finkley Down
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Power and water details confirmed in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
