Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Share your running order
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Godshill: your questions answered
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Godshill?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
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.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How does private food truck hire work?
You hire the truck or trailer for agreed service times. We cook to order, serve from the hatch and pack down afterwards.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Occasions we cater for in Godshill
Nothing is needed from a venue kitchen, so gardens, fields and grounds all become options.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Milestone birthdays
- Anniversary celebrations

When the service is at a church such as St Giles, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
