FAQs for Shellingford
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Faith?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Shellingford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide plates?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Shellingford? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Loaded nachos to share while the party gets going.

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Step by step
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. At midsummer, it’s light in Shellingford until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
