For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
- How many guests we’re serving
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
What’s on the menu
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are good for sharing between friends; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Your questions about food truck hire in Lower Willingdon
How far is Lower Willingdon from central London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Wilfrid?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for dietary needs?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you sell to the public at private events?
At a private hire, we serve your guests and nobody else, on a menu and timings agreed with you. At festivals and markets we trade to the public; see our street food catering page.
