Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
We can serve from the truck for the wedding meal, the evening or both. We fit service around your running order. Read more in having a food truck at a wedding.

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.
What about power on site?
