Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Upton: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Upton?
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.
Could we book your food truck for a private event in Upton?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Is private hire the same as trading at a festival?
A private hire is booked and quoted for you, and we don’t sell to the public. Organisers wanting us to trade at their event can see our festival page.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What space does the truck need?
Tell us where you’d like the truck, and we will check the access. Our guide to space and power has more.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
