Comparing your options
Plated catering needs a kitchen tent, waiting staff and set courses. A food truck arrives as a kitchen and serves from the hatch, needing level ground, access and the venue’s permission. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Allergen-aware menus
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A menu built around your guests
Take a look at our pricing and what Mexican catering costs.
Food truck hire in St John's, from our truck or trailer
The hatch menu is agreed with you: tacos and burritos, with bowls, nachos or quesadillas if you like, finished with salsas and guacamole. We serve quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for staff summer parties and wedding evening food.
Around St John's, a hired food truck can serve in a garden, a field or a hall car park. If the road in is narrow or the ground soft, tell us so we can plan. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in St John's at around 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day

Planning the serving area

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Questions from St John's
We are having a ceremony at St John's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How far is St John's from central London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
