How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Shirkoak, it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Let the neighbours know
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
Rain doesn’t stop the hatch, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Quesadillas for younger guests.

Other catering in Shirkoak
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Questions from Shirkoak
Do you cater in villages like Shirkoak?
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.
How far is Shirkoak from central London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
