How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. For an evening event in Thorney, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Thorney
What’s the nearest station to Thorney for guests?
Guests can use Iver station, about 0.7 miles north-west of Thorney.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Thorney?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.
What affects the price in Thorney
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Occasions we cater for in Thorney
Tacos and burritos are easy sells, so the stall trades steadily.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Festivals
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Outdoor screenings
- Hospitality and crew areas
A fundraiser for a church like St. Leonard's might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Where the truck can go in Thorney
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Flat, firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Provide seating near the food
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
