What affects the price in Shackleford
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Shackleford
Which station should guests use for Shackleford?
Guests can use Godalming station, about 2.2 miles south-east of Shackleford.
Do you cater in villages like Shackleford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How much does food truck hire cost in Shackleford?

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
