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

Common questions in Oakley
Which station should guests use for Oakley?
Guests can use Overton station, about 3.7 miles west of Oakley.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How much is the bar?
Every bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, drinks and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Drinks planning tips
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Check allergies with guests, including for drinks
- Give us numbers for children
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Winter receptions in Oakley are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and the drinks you have in mind.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day we set up the bar and our bar staff serve your guests.
- When the bar closes, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
