Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a food truck
- Distance from houses and windows
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in West Kingsdown see sunset at about 7:05pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
