Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
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.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Plan seating near the food area
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
How it works
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, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December market in Fords Farm loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
