Rural weddings around Emery Down have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance

Questions from Emery Down
Do you come out to small places like Emery Down?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cover Emery Down?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Emery Down and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready, even if that moves.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Comparing your options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- Quoted for your event
- A plan agreed before the day

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Late-September weddings in Emery Down see the sun go down at about 7:10pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. In late May it stays light until about 8:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
