Tell us about the lane and the drive. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Lower Caversham questions
We are having a ceremony at St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is it possible to have you in Eldon Square?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
Each hire is quoted individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the location and service times. Contact us for a quote.
Can we hire the truck for our wedding?
Wedding food from a truck feels relaxed and sociable. We will check access and timings with your venue.
How is private hire different from festival trading?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, with a menu and timings you agree with us. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
