In a hamlet or village like Great Chart, our food 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Common questions in Great Chart

How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power and water?

- If the price includes VAT
- The deposit and payment dates
- Who provides plates and napkins
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Where the truck can go in Great Chart
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- A spot away from neighbours
- Level, solid ground for the vehicle

- Mexican drinks bar

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Check parking and loading rules for street locations
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Great Chart see sunset at about 7:00pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu for the hatch and quote for it.
- We confirm the parking spot, access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
