Questions from Etchingwood
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Etchingwood?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Etchingwood.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Count children separately
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Make sure one filling is vegan
