These are the factors that matter most:

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

FAQs for Hardley
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Anne?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Hardley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, and we do not sell to the public. Event organisers should see street food for festivals.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

- Somewhere for guests to sit or stand and eat
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check early that your venue allows food trucks
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Send allergy details in writing

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A hired food truck at a summer event in Hardley can serve in daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, and by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
