What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Catherington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening tacos are normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
