Common questions in Lovedean
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Lovedean?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Is Lovedean close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well, especially in the evening. We will check access and timings with your venue.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
When you hire us, the booking is yours, so we do not serve passers-by. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Where can the truck park?
Send us the address and a description of the spot, and we’ll check it works. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
