Food truck hire or something else?
Cooking yourself saves on catering but costs you the day. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Quoted for your event
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Think about cover if the weather turns
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
Guests order at the hatch and their food is handed out hot.
Ask us about napkins, plates and cutlery and we’ll 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 can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
