Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- What’s on the menu
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Count adults and children separately
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Simple quesadillas for children.
