Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Some distance from houses and neighbours

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What power and water the site has
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Count children separately
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Shirburn, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
