What affects the price in Shiplake Cross
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Do you come out to small places like Shiplake Cross?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Shiplake Cross loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
