Mexican street food in Balmerlawn, from our food truck or trailer

What affects the price in Balmerlawn
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Balmerlawn questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Balmerlawn?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you cater in villages like Balmerlawn?
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.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
