Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Food truck hire for your event in Nackington
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. It’s a private booking, not public trading, so we plan the menu and service times around you. For staff appreciation days and end-of-year celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Nackington, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Nackington
Do you cater in villages like Nackington?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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 give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why choose food truck hire in Nackington?
For food that becomes part of the event, a private food truck is a strong option. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
See our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Distance from houses and windows
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Late-September events in Nackington see sunset at about 7:00pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before you book
- Plan a covered area for guests to eat
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
