Space & Access
What Our Setup Needs
Our fleet includes both trucks and trailers, and each has a different footprint. Trucks generally need 30-40ft of clear space to park and set up, while trailers need more room, typically 50-70ft, but offer a more reliable mechanical footprint once they're in place. Our team confirms the right vehicle type and space needs with you ahead of time so the truck or trailer fits your location without surprises on event day.

Before you ask
What Shapes Your Quote
Every event is different, so every quote is built around the specifics of your event rather than a flat rate. Our team reviews your date, location, guest count, and menu choices to put together pricing that fits how the day will actually run. Once we know those details, we can talk through options and adjust as your plans take shape.
- Event date
- Location & travel
- Guest count
- Menu selections
- Service duration
- Customizations
Quick Answers Before You Request a Quote
How do I book you?
Booking happens entirely online. That said, we're glad to talk through any questions you have about our service by phone. Please note that quotes are handled by email only and can't be provided over the phone.
How do I check if my date is available?
Fill out the form on our website to check availability. We work with multiple trucks and cuisines, so don't hesitate to reach out — chances are we've got something that fits your date.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
All cancellation and reschedule policies can be found in our booking terms linked in the footer of our website. You'll also get a copy with your catering agreement when you book.
Can the serving time change after I book?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. Once we've booked your event, we make commitments to other parties based on our commitment to you. If a proposed change to your serving time would conflict with another commitment we made on the strength of our original booking with you, we won't be able to accommodate the change.
