What affects the price in Oval
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
In Oval, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Late-September events in Oval see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Oval questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Vauxhall Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Which station should guests use for Oval?
Guests can use Vauxhall station, which is right in Oval.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It 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 picture and we’ll talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish.
Tell us what serveware you need and we will confirm what’s possible.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
